President’s Message
The
mission of the SLDW has never seemed more relevant. Our country and state are
being battered by confusing economic issues, a polarized political system, and
a media that is not held accountable for the misinformation and/or lack of
information it distributes. It seems vitally important to “unite women to
support and advance the principles of the Democratic Party, encourage growth of a
well-informed electorate and promote full participation of women in every level of the
Democratic Party structure.”
And so, the SLDW begins its 7th year
with renewed commitment to its mission and an energized and dedicated
membership. I’m in awe of the remarkable group of women who are engaged and
continue to become involved with the work of the SLDW. You are inspirational!
We
have an exciting array of programs for the 2011-2012 season. Check out our events and mark
your calendars for an exciting year where you can make a difference!

How do
you spell commitment? SLDW! That’s how! We’ve had a terrific Fall season with
interesting and informative events, member recruitment, fundraising activities,
social events, and of course, lots of planning for the next half of the
year. Executive board meetings have been
lively and your board has been working hard to bring you new programs and
re-energize existing programs. Your
involvement is warmly appreciated.
The
SLDW recognizes its indebtedness to those who have sacrificed to achieve gains
in equality for all members of our society. Much work remains to be done and we remain
ever vigilant to threats to our democracy. If you can give 5 minutes a month or
5 hours a month we can find a way for you to help Take a look and see what we together as a group have accomplished so far this season and what we hope to
accomplish in the Spring. Thank you for choosing to be actively engaged in our
democracy.
