Thanks for Attending Our 20th Anniversary Summer Celebration!

LADs 20th Anniversary Summer Celebration, Saturday, August 12, noon to 3pm, Roger’s Grove, 220 Hover St., Longmont

Since 2003, LAD has grown from a few energetic voices promoting progressive democracy right here at home, to our expansive voter education work at the local, state and federal level. We believe our “little club that could”, has inspired a growing well of activists throughout the Longmont area, and beyond.

Along the way, you’ve been right there with us —
and our hearts are full with gratitude.

With the summer wrapping up, we’re hoping you can  stop by Roger’s Grove, 220 Hover St., in Longmont, THIS Saturday, August 12, from noon ‘til 3pm: join the LAD Board, friends, activists, electeds, and candidates! (there might be a surprise visit or two!) Celebrate, listen to music from the LAD Band, and share stories of how we got here, kickstarting what’s ahead in our continued and beloved work of Democracy.

Delicious barbeque from Rat’s Woodshack. You can see their menu, here.

PLEASE BRING: a lawn chair so you can sit where you like in beautiful Roger’s Grove Park, sunscreen, bug spray, water bottle, or a beverage of your choice — but please, NO alcohol or glass containers!

— WELCOMING YOU to JOIN US this SATURDAY! —
The Board of Longmont Area Democrats:
Virginia Gebhart, President • Ingrid Moore, Vice-President
Beth Utton, Secretary • Sue McCue, Treasurer • Marisa Dirks, Media.

Thanks for walking with us in Firestone!

Walk with LAD & Rep Parenti in Firestone!, Tuesday, July 4, lineup is 9am, Firestone 4th of July Parade (Hart Park), 467 Jackson Ave, Firestone, CO. RSVP, here.

WHY?

In this, LADs 20th year, we remember back years ago, when folks used to poke their heads in our meetings at Front Range, and say, “THERE ARE DEMOCRATS IN LONGMONT??”

Well, IMAGINE FIRESTONE TODAY.

State Rep. Parenti’s amazing win (her district includes East Longmont and Firestone) — flipping a seat from a republican, and her STELLAR first session in our legislature — would NOT have been possible, if Democrats and democracy-minded unaffiliateds had not shown up to VOTE.

Here in Longmont, we know what it’s like to live in a very red city, AND WHAT IT TAKES to encourage Democrats and unaffiliated voters to VOTE — especially when voters think their vote doesn’t matter.

YOUR VOTE ALWAYS MATTERS.

We remind folks of this by SHOWING that DEMOCRACY is ALIVE…EVERYWHERE, including a “little” parade in Firestone. Besides that…it’s FUN.

So…can you please JOIN US? THANKS!: Walking in Firestone’s 4th of July Parade w/ Rep. Parenti, Tuesday, July 4, lineup is 9am, Firestone 4th of July Parade (Hart Park), 467 Jackson Ave, Firestone, CO. CARPOOLING RECOMMENDED!
RSVP, here.
