Meet fellow Democrats for a drink, a meal or casual conversation at the Lake of the Woods Democratic Club’s bi-monthly Social Hour on July 11 at Clearwater Grill restaurant.

The club’s Steering Committee has designated alternative monthly meetings throughout the year for an informal evening social gathering instead of our usual formal daytime meetings. Expectations are that some folks who cannot attend daytime meetings will want to join us for some light-hearted fun.

The event will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. in the back upper dining room near the bar. The space has been reserved for club members during this time.

Because of the size of our group, the restaurant’s management has asked that we order food from a limited menu. Our choices will be these three:  cranberry pecan salad, a burger, or crispy chicken sandwich.  Sides will be fries or applesauce. 

Sure, you can discuss politics if you like, but there will be no agenda and no pressure.

More formal club meetings will continue to be held in alternative months at 1:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month at the LOW Community Center. Always check the club’s web site for up-to-date information on club meetings and activities.

Tickets are on sale now for the LOW Democratic Club’s Summer Picnic, which will take place at 5-7 p.m. June 8 at the LOW Community Center.

There’s a special price for a full fried chicken dinner complete with side dishes. Club members will pay only $10 in appreciation for their support during the year. The price for non-members is $15.

Dr. Gary Greenhalgh, who served as director of the National Clearinghouse on Election Administration at both the U.S. General Accounting Office and, later, the Federal Election Commission, will speak about the voting process.

Tickets to the picnic must be purchased in advance no later than May 28.

They are available by credit card online by clicking the “Pay Now” button below. If you prefer, mail a check to LOW Democratic Club, P.O. Box 1351, Locust Grove, VA 22508. Mailed checks must be received by the deadline date.
