From our President…

All you wonderful people,

First off, thanks to everyone who showed up for our opening social last week. It was exciting to see so many people and to see such a variety of political interests. This is shaping up to be a great semester.

MEETING TONIGHT: CAMPAIGNING FOR OBAMA
Thursday, September 20, 7:30pm-8:30pm
240 SWKT

Tonight’s meeting will feature Lauren Clough, President of the BYU Chapter of Student for Barack Obama. She will tell you everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Obama and the campaign (including how you can get involved), as well as how she got started in with campaigning and her personal experiences doing so. This should be a fascinating meeting, and rumors indicate that treats will be provided, so come!

Other Announcements/Events:

OFFICERS MEETING: Again, we’re looking for anyone who want to get involved in running the club, planning events, and spending even MORE quality time with progressively-minded people like us. We meet every Thursday 6:30-7:15, 240 SWKT.

DEMOCRATIC YOUTH OUTREACH COMMITTEE: As mentioned last week, the Utah County Democratic Party has established a Youth Outreach Committee that is trying to encourage civic education in local high schools and universities by visiting schools and helping starting Young Democrats Clubs. This is a great chance to serve the community and
inspire other youth get involved in making our country better. If you’d like to help, contact Randal Serr at randalserr@hotmail.com

VISIT WITH REID: Many of you have asked if there will be any special events surrounding Senator Harry Reid’s visit to campus. We are working with Reid’s staff to arrange a personal meeting for the College Democrats, and things are looking great, so be watching for an email in the next few days with more details.

IMMIGRANT CITIZENSHIP TEST PREPARATION SERVICE OPPORTUNITY: We are working with a professor to help start a program at Centro Hispano, a local Hispanic community outreach center, that would provide preparation classes to immigrants for the U.S. Naturalization test, which they must pass in order to become U.S. citizens. We are looking
for students with Spanish-speaking ability who would like to get involved in organizing and teaching the classes. If you’re interested, send an email to president@byudemocrats.org.
