‘Tis the season for gathering and celebrating our successes, as well as our vision for the future. Please see the flyer below and join us for our holiday party. We look forward to socializing and enjoying festivities together!

Looking forward, in January we will be electing a new board. Please consider stepping up and taking on a leadership role. 2025 is the perfect year to learn the ropes and get geared up leading into the mid-term year! The following positions will be open:

• President: The President shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the club. He/she shall preside over all club and executive board meetings, make appointments to other positions as required, and act as the club’s official spokesperson. The president would have three additional Zoom meetings each month: Serve as a member of the San Diego County East Area Caucus and attend the monthly meeting as our voting member; attend the Central Committee Meeting for the San Diego County Democratic Party once a month as an observer; attend the Council of Clubs once a month.

• Secretary: The Secretary shall keep the minutes of the general meetings and executive committee meetings, conduct correspondence, maintain the club’s records, and maintain internal communications.

• Treasurer: The Treasurer shall be responsible for collecting dues, receiving and depositing all club funds received, maintaining an accurate record of club receipts and expenditures, signing all checks as authorized by the Executive Board, making the record of club receipts and expenditures available to any member when requested, and providing a report of the club’s financial status at club meetings as requested. In addition, the Treasurer shall be responsible for filing appropriate Federal and State campaign disclosure reports.

• Communication Director: This officer will be in charge of maintaining regular communication with club members regarding club meetings and activities. This officer will also oversee the club’s website and ensure that information about the club is kept current on the San Diego County Democratic Party website.

• Program Chair: The chair is responsible for inviting speakers to monthly meetings and coordinating other club events, such as participation in the Pride Parade, the annual holiday party, and the Fall membership event.

• Membership Coordinator: This person will be responsible for the annual rechartering, maintaining an accurate listing of members with their contact information, and promoting the club’s visibility in the community.

As we are a smaller club, we have been able to combine roles to meet the needs of a full board in the past, but we would love to have as full a board if possible! We have one club meeting and one board meeting a month.

Dues are due in January and will need to be up to date in order to be considered a Voting Member. It is very important for as many of us to attend as possible. We want to ensure that we have a quorum and a clear, unified voice for the club as we choose our leadership for the upcoming year.

Don’t forget we had some homework for January to bring a way we can engage with our communities both personally and as a club.

In solidarity,

Cynthia Jurado

There is still an Ongoing Migrant Crisis

Congress must provide Federal Relief to help us address this problem. Tell your representatives to provide relief by providing the basic needs for these refugees to survive and to fully fund the ongoing efforts at the border.
