Club Meeting, July 20
Join us on July 20 for our July Club Meeting, for an interesting and informative presentation by staff members of Minary’s Dream Alliance. They will describe the programs offered by the organization, and detail ways that members of the public can support these programs.
Established in 2020, Minary’s Dream Alliance (https://minarysdreamalliance.org/) is a nonprofit organization with the mission of transforming the lives of youth, families, and communities through education, resource development, and community engagement. Minary’s Dream Alliance (MDA) offers families and youth a safe, welcoming environment where they feel comfortable and accepted for who they are. Key to the success of MDA are the founders, Doncella Wilson and Paul Tue, dedicated community advocates who have worked on the Mid-Shore for 15 years developing relationships and building trust within the community. In populations that have long been underserved by our society, there can be a justified distrust of many public institutions. Because of their tireless work and devotion, Doncella and Paul are trusted by the community. Under this leadership, MDA offers programming that meets community needs at every level:
- Minary’s Dream Academy;
- Feed the Elderly Program;
- Club FEAR (Adolescent Clubhouse);
- CommUnity Mentoring Program.
The meeting will take place at Minary’s Dream Alliance, 9155 American Legion Road, Chestertown, on Thursday, July 20; doors will open at 6:00 pm for refreshments, social time, and a brief business meeting. The presentation will start at approximately 7:00 pm. Please consider attending the meeting to learn about this important community organization and its programs, and how you can become involved.
Francie Miller came to town!
Francie Miller, a former Chestertown resident and incredible Democrat, came home for a visit in July. We held a happy hour so that her many friends could come see her and catch up with what she’s been doing in California. It was great to see her! Francie, we miss you, and thanks for coming to see us!
Rock Hall 4th of July
We set up our information and action booth during the Rock Hall 4th of July celebration, and was it HOT! But we got a lot of traffic, gave away 35 gun locks, 150 fans, and talked with many interested people! We also had our Take Action table going, where volunteers wrote notes to Ohio voters urging them to vote in their special election on August 8. A fun and productive day!
First Friday, July 7
We had a good turnout and a great time at First Friday on July 7. Food, beverages, music, and stimulating conversation among friends and fellow Democrats — what a great way to spend a Friday evening! Join us for the next one, Friday, August 4, 5-7 pm. Put it on your calendar now, so you won’t forget!
