Count me IN for a Democratic Family Picnic!
Ever had fun at family picnic? This is exactly what we did at Guilford Park on Sunday, July 16! We held our first annual Democratic Family Picnic! From members to friends, we all had a good meal and great company. We were even joined by several elected officials!
On July 16, 2023, we had an old fashioned Democratic Family Picnic at Guilford Park from 4-7 pm. Friends from all over the county came to share their favorite dish, good conversations and great company. The event was simple. The Columbia Democratic Club and Ellicott City and Western Howard County Democratic Club joined forces to provide the facility space, hamburgers, hot dogs and other refreshments. While the community was asked to bring a dish to the event. Then we ALL got to eat and fellowship. We were graced with the presence of several elected officials who came for the fun and fellowship.
The best part of the day was seeing so many people connecting. Seeing our members get a chance to really talk to their representatives in a relaxed atmosphere was amazing! But also seeing so many people connecting with each other made my heart sing. We purposely only had two moments of speeches. The first was when I and my Vice President (Gabriel Moreno) welcomed everyone and the electeds present at the time. And the second was when our County Executive joined us for the fun. We did this because the focus of the event was just to connect as a family. Before we can fight together in 2024, we have to be unified as a family. I firmly believe that the family that plays together…wins together. And I want to make sure that our democratic family is strong so that we win…not just in 2024, but for many years to come!
