Our Flash mob was on Saturday the 14th!
We met at Klamath Commons and had a great time. We met some fellow Democrats, and were given the view of a young lady in red celebrating her Quinceanera with her court all dressed in formal black.
​
Did we have fun at the debate or what? (Trump now says he won't do another debate since he did so well at this last one. Sure, buddy).
​
But I would like to pass this link to anyone interested in doing even just an hour or so of virtual phone banking. We have to do what we can for Harris/Walz, and this way we can help in the swing states which are so very important.
How to Call Anytime for Harris-Walz · The Democratic National Committee (democrats.org)
Please also direct your attention to the lovely people at Vote Forward, who use the mail in case you don’t want to do phone calling.
Candidate Forum in Chiloquin, 10/7/2024 at the Community Center. Ask your questions there!
Chuck was a long-time member of the Klamath County Democratic Central Committee. Up until just recently, he was still Vice-Chair, though he was awarded the title of Vice-Chair Emeritus in January (which gave him full rights to say, “Back in my day…”). We loved him dearly and will miss him a lot.
We had a great Celebration of his life last Saturday. We won't forget him.
