Road Trip!
(Cross-Posted to DemNotes at www.DemNotes.com)
Well, tonight we pack up and head out on the road for a day on the Western Slope and in the San Luis Valley tomorrow. I will be giving caucus training in Glenwood Springs, Montrose, and Saguache. Take a look at a map — it won’t be a short drive. At least I’m looking forward to getting to the Hot Springs pool later tonight in Glenwood Springs for some relaxation.
We start at 10 am tomorrow (Saturday) in Glenwood Springs. There, I’ll be delivering a presentation on the caucus process at the RE-1 School Administration Building First Floor Conference Room. I’m told that the building is at the corner of 14th and Grand Avenue in Glenwood. We hope to see folks from Eagle, Pitkin, Rio Blanco and Mesa Counties, in addition to Garfield county Dems.
Then, I’ll be whisked away toward Montrose. I’m told I’m not even allowed to stop for lunch — lunch will be eaten in the car! At 2 pm, I’ll give the same presentation in Montrose at the Montrose County Library, 320 South 2nd Street in Montrose. We’re hoping to see folks from Delta, Ouray, San Juan, and San Miguel counties join Montrose Dems at this event.
Finally, I’ll head back east, to Saguache. At the Oasis Restaurant in Saguache (right on the highway), I’ll be giving the caucus presentation to Sagauche Dems, and we are hoping to have others from the San Luis Valley join us there. The Saguache training is set for 5:30, although I will likely not get there until at least 6:00. The event in Saguache includes either an enchilada platter or a chicken fried steak dinner for $20.00. If you haven’t RSVP’d for that event yet, you should do so ASAP to M. Esther Grant at 719-256-5490 or Jackie Stephens at 719-530-1356.
Then, of course, I’ll head home. If I can find internet access and a breath on Sunday, I’ll try to write about my adventures then — otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until Monday!
But that’s not all of the CDP Democratic fun going on in the Western Slope on Saturday. If you’re up in the northwest part of the state, you may want to consider stopping by Steamboat Springs. At 11:30, State Chair Pat Waak will be joined by Sky Gallegos from the DNCC (Democratic National Convention Committee) for a forum on the National Convention and a caucus training / neighbor to neighbor training. That event will be at Olympian Hall, 845 Howelson Parkway, in Steamboat.
See you there!
