The Lake of the Woods Democratic Club celebrated the second inaugural of President Barack Obama by donating a framed portrait of the president the club hopes will be displayed in the Presidents Room of the LOW Clubhouse.
The portrait, a handsomely framed and matted photograph of the president with the U.S. flag, was unveiled at the club’s meeting on Jan. 17.
The club has applied to Clubhouse Manager Joey Welsh for permission to display the portrait among the other portraits of presidents on the walls of the Presidents Room. The room now features portraits of the eight Virginia presidents, plus Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and a group photo of Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama.
Club members used the first meeting of the new year to participate in an exercise in which each member listed “new year’s resolutions” for the club for 2013. The resolutions included support for the President’s gun-control initiative, electing a Democratic governor in November and supporting club member Ken Martin as he assumes the chairmanship of the county Democratic Committee.
The club’s annual Christmas luncheon will be at Bonefish Grill in Central Park again this year.
The cost is $26.20, which includes the meal, taxes and gratuity. Entrees will be oak grill salmon, chicken marsala or imperial longfin. Appetizers will be bang bang shrimp or calamari. Dessert will be creme brule. Entree selection will be made at the restaurant.
Checks must be made out to Anne Humphrey and can be brought to the Nov. 15 meeting or mailed to Anne Humphrey, 1019 Eastover Parkway, Locust Grove, Va., 22508.
The deadline for reservations is Wednesday, Nov. 28.
Today is the deadline to register as a voter if you intend to vote in the Nov. 6 election.
