NFDW Women in Blue Day

Greetings!

Our treasurer, Liz Duarte, recently sent out the annual dues letter to our club presidents and club treasuerers. We have had an active year, and Liz did a terrific job of telling hat we've been doing, so I decided to share it with all of you.

Deb Dickey, CFDW President

"This year the CT Federation of Democratic Women held several informative meetings and programs. Campaign tactics were taught in September, Social Media Get out the Vote workshop was given at State Central in October, and for our February meeting in Cheshire we heard an inspiring speech and discussion with State Representative Liz Linehan about workplace sexual harassment of which she shared personal experiences. In March, several members went to the National Federation of Democratic Women in Blue Lobby Day in Washington DC. We held our own CT Women in Blue Day in the Capitol on March 28th where we served ice cream sundaes while talking with legislators. On March 23rd we held the Women of Distinction Awards Dinner where one honoree from each of the 5 clubs participating were honored for their tireless, behind the scenes work for our organization and for getting Democrats elected. In April, East Hartford is hosting the CFDW program about local activism groups’ activities. On May 5th, we will host our Workshop with the theme of engaging Democrats, especially young voters, to get out and vote. At the luncheon, we will award the Fannie Dixon Welch Scholarship to a UCONN Democratic woman student. Please invite your members to join fellow Democratic women (and men) to participate in the CFDW activities. We know there is still so much more work to be done during these very difficult times. It is only working together that we will get Democrats elected" ... See more
