• We've closed out and cleaned up work from the demanding 2020 election year, 
• We've elected (or re-elected) new Party leadership, on-boarding and training the most committed and diverse NCW team of Dems ever,
• We've built work plans and developed budgets to accomplish those plans, and we know that you'll all help!
• We've conducted several months' of PCO and leadership trainings (with another series of 6 workshops taking place now), 
• We've supported VA by writing 3000 postcards to Democratic voters prior to their primary election on June 8 (Virginia Dems won, by the way!), 
• We've recruited local candidates and volunteers for the nonpartisan races now on the 2021 ballots (an unprecedented group of 55 in Chelan and Douglas counties).  
• Our office is open MWF from 10-2.  We're often there on other days/nights, too.
• Our regular staff numbers 9 on the HQ Team (applause for them, please!) - each brings so many skills and the heart of a DEMOCRAT!
• We offer the HQ space to other groups who are like-minded, sharing coffee and goodies and expertise, too.
• For more than a year, in order to stay connected throughout our counties, we've held weekly Tues "Coffee Breaks" on Zoom, transitioning in May to in-person no-host brunches at a local restaurant for the 2nd and 4th Tues.  Folks are loving it - come join us!  https://forms.gle/vfTMpqYH1ohw7Bji7
• We're assisting current candidates and their campaign staff in the use of tools and techniques, trying to help everyone launch their best possible campaigns.  Let's face it, we're all pretty-much newbies at this, but we're getting better.  The R's have had a tight corner on the market in years past, but no more.
• We've planned substantive monthly meetings (come to the 7/7 General Mtg on Zoom to learn about what's being done by local police depts to address mental health response), https://forms.gle/CpueQb6Nzkk71mLX9
• AND we're planning our ANNUAL SUMMER PICNIC.  Sunday, 7/11, 5:30 at Kirby Billingsley Hydro Park, E Wen.  Please register now and plan to attend.  See the attached detail, but know that Dr. Kim Schrier will join us, there'll be candidates to meet and celebrate, you can buy a catered dinner from us (Taqueria Morelia will be on-site, plus we'll provide beverages and dessert), you'll enjoy the tunes of our very own peeps, The Saddle Rockers, and just generally let your hair down with other Dems!  No potluck this year, due to COVID concerns.  Masks required, if not fully vaccinated, but all Dems are welcome.  https://signup.com/go/THHWsZS
• We've also built a powerhouse tech team, our TechForce, whose members are analyzing our local data to share with us in amazing ways.
• We have a communications team, with lots of work to do.  There are websites, Facebook pages/groups, Twitter, and other spaces, as well as print media.
• Washington State Redistricting Commission: We're encouraging everyone to get involved with the effort to draw new congressional and legislative district boundaries.  Populations have grown and shifted in WA and the districts must be adjusted.  We'll vote in newly defined districts by this time next year - 2022.  See the attached pdf for lots of detail.  Join the YouTube livestream to gain a sense of how it works, then consider testifying or submit comments to the Commission.
