Happy February, everyone!

I don’t know about you, but I’m already counting down to summer. While it’s cold and snowy outside, things are definitely heating up politically.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday, February 25th at our Candidates Meet & Greet at Proclamation Ale. We already have a number of candidates who have RSVP’d and are eager to connect with our group.

We’re excited to be partnering with the East Greenwich Democrats for this event and are hoping for a strong turnout. Thank you to everyone who came to our last meeting, we had a great showing for our two guest speakers.  Let’s keep the momentum going for this meet and greet event.

It’s a free event featuring light snacks, great drinks, and a wonderful opportunity to come together, meet individuals running for office, and support a local Warwick business.

There will be no formal program just a relaxed, fun evening to socialize and connect.
Stay warm, and I look forward to seeing you soon!
Steve
