In case you haven’t heard, we’re not all work and no play.

(That’s another nice thing about being a Democrat.)

We’re having a post-election/holiday party (because we’re not quite bold enough to call it a victory party this early) on November 8th from 4pm to 6pm. Location is the Sidney Center Fire Hall in Sidney Center.

It’ll be cocktail party format, refreshments will be served (and you can bring-your-own-bottle if you like), and possibly we’ll even be able to wangle entertainment.

Mostly, we want you to know who we are and we want to know who you are. We also hope to present some of our candidates for next year’s local elections - the first of what we hope will be several “meet and greet” events over the next 12 months.

So, save the date and come celebrate with us!

Senator Chuck Schumer has made a practice of visiting every county in the state at least once every year. This year, he will come to Delaware County for a meeting with community leaders and other concerned citizens here in Sidney.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, September 3rd from 2:15 to 3:15 pm at the Sidney Memorial Library, 8 River Street (corner of River and Main). As Sidney Democratic Committee Town Chair, I will be on hand to greet the Senator, along with members of the Village and Town Board (I expect) and other prominent Sidney citizens.

The meeting is open to the public, so come say hello.
