Various Updates

Hey everyone-
Just a couple updates:

- Drake Democrats will have meetings on Thursdays at 7:00pm, sometimes officers' meetings, sometimes general meetings. We're working on when to do general meetings since a lot of times an event we have that week will basically serve as a general meeting.

- If you want to get more involved, e-mail me (Patrick; ptr003@drake.edu). We're working on setting up a seperate e-mail list for folks who want to help out on random events and publicity that come up.

- We all had a great time at the Harkin Steak Fry - about 30 Drake Dems went; we were definetely the largest student group there. Here's two pictures from that (we'll get it on the acutal website soon):















- A big THANK YOU to all the Drake Democrats who made/are making the campus-wide Hurricane Katrina Relief Week a huge success! We had about 10 members help sell beads and t-shirts throughout the week, making us one of, if not the biggest, contributer of volunteers. And our members often worked alongside College Republicans, who also helped out a lot. Thanks to our former-Finance Director Jason Boothe, who helped lead the effort, and helped us all do our part to help in the recovery. Good work everyone!

- And on an amusing note, at the Date Auction for the relief effort, I decided to help out by buying College Republican President Sarah Mayberry for a date. How's that for bi-partisanship?
Have a great weekend everyone!
