Progressive Democrat Issue 113: CALIFORNIA FOCUS: Volunteer in San Diego

Want to help out the Democrats and enjoy a nice time in San Deigo? This comes from the California Democratic Party:

The California Democratic Party has always relied on the involvement of our dedicated volunteers and activists and many of you helped make possible our historic victories in 2006. Electing eight Democrats to statewide office, taking control of both the House and the Senate and making history with California's own Nancy Pelosi becoming the first woman Speaker of the House -- have brought renewed hope and optimism to both our party and our country.

That renewed spirit will be on display at our annual State Convention, April 27-29, 2007 at the San Diego Convention Center. We expect statewide constitutional officers and legislative leaders to attend, as well as many of our presidential hopefuls. Our wonderful volunteers and grassroots activists have always been instrumental in making our conventions run smoothly and this year is no different.

We will need more than 600 volunteers to facilitate a productive and enjoyable convention for the approximately 3,500 delegates, guests and press in attendance, and help make our first convention held in San Diego a successful kick-off to the 2008 presidential election.

Volunteers are needed in several areas - some assignments will require sitting, while others may involve standing or acting as a runner. (Please see the volunteer form for more information.) With the volume of volunteers that we need, we cannot guarantee placing you in an area of your first choice; however, we will make every effort to do so. Please let us know of any special needs and/or physical limitations you may have. There will be opportunities for volunteers to attend General Session, and hear some of our speakers.

If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the volunteer form at www.cadem.org/volunteer (by April 6, 2007 for best availability). If you have any questions, please call the volunteer coordinator at (619) 838-6866 or email at volunteer@cadem.org.

Please note: In order to participate, you must sign-up in advance to volunteer at the State Convention.

I look forward to seeing you at the Convention.

Sincerely,

Senator Art Torres (Ret.)
Chairman, California Democratic Party

P.S. Please feel free to forward this email to your family members and friends who might be interested in volunteering.
