Our Neck of the Woods
Friday night, the Williamson County Democratic Party opened it’s headquarters in Georgetown, Texas. Good location on South Austin Avenue (1915 S. Austin, Suite 111, GTN, TX) Stocked with lots of yard signs, bumper stickers, buttons, etc. Y’all come by if you are in the neighborhood. Williamson County’s version of the Silver Dems, the Sun City Democrats, were out in force and enthusiasm.
We had a nice big crowd that had to spill out into the parking lot, we had speeches from an outstanding group of candidates, and the evening was topped off with our candidate for US Senate, Paul Sadler. Paul would make us proud as a US Senator: he has a amiable manner and a steel trap mind. Three of our delegates to the national convention also reported on their experiences and just could not quit smiling.
What’s up in your neck of the woods?

Today I met with several others, precinct chairs etc, all Democrats, for our monthly planning meeting for South Travis United Democrats. We meet the third Tuesday of every month at Brick Oven, Brodie at Slaughter Lane, at 6 pm. We have been doing this for more than a year. We meet and greet for maybe 45 minutes–gives candidates time to visit with guests and everyone to catch up with each other. The restaurant does not charge us for the use of the large dining room because we usually have a pretty good turnout and lots of them order meals and drinks. We have a Facebook page, in case you want to go and “like” us. The acronym is obvious. Like a building 2×4 of course. Grin. How’d you get Sadler to come to your event? We are excited that we have managed to have so many good speakers. State Rep. Donna Howard is due to speak on Sept 18 at our next meeting.
1Good luck and proud of you! Come visit us!
I’ve gotta get down there, but at the moment am stiffer than a Repug’s neck when glaring down at a single mother…I managed to fall with two different bikes in two successive days, the second incident in a bike shop with the bike *standing still.*
