| This evening, the University Democrats will be holding their annual fundraiser. The event will review what the club has accomplished over the past year, and there is also a VIP reception honoring Ian Davis for the work he has done for Democrats in Austin.
Although there is a fundraiser every year, I think this one might be especially important for the club. The club is going into a Fall semester with no elections and no legislative session. For every UT club, though, fall semesters are crucially important to recruit new members, as the old class of seniors must be replaced. Unlike most of the other Democratic clubs in Austin, membership is a revolving door here.
But recruitment is going to need some extra resources and some extra ingenuity on the part of the officers (most likely led by Melessa Rodriguez and Andy Jones, who are currently running unopposed for President and Vice President, respectively).
As a member, I can say that the leaders of the club would greatly appreciate if you would stop by, chip in a tad to the club's funds, and voice your ideas on how to run a successful Fall semester. I've posted the event info below the fold. |
