Thank you for all your hard work! ***
Message from our Chair,
Gary Shea
We had a lot of fun marching outside of Berkley High School earlier this month in support of public education with 60 or so folks—club members, Berkley teachers and staff, and allies from the American Federation of Teachers. There are some photos of the event under the Take Action tab. The same tab will take you to a list of events, protests, resistance actions you can participate in—both local and national. And there will be more of our Dems of SOC events. For your convenience, there is now a button at the top of the home page that will take you directly to the Take Action Page.
We also have a couple of community service events coming soon. There will be more on them at the March 20 meeting and here on the website as they are finalized. We will need club members to staff these events.
I’d like to add a few good people to the Membership Committee—especially those who would be comfortable recruiting new members—I know not everyone wants to do that. If you might be right for that job, please let me know.
Finally, we need an Executive Board Trustee for Royal Oak. Again, if you’re the right person, or you’d like to nominate someone, let me know.
Thanks for all you do - see you on the 20th!

DSOC merch. Hoodies, sweatshirts, T-shirts, totes and hats are available in our online Store. Since we do not require payment of dues to join our club, the sale of our merchandise is one of our primary fundraising tools. Wearing DSOC merch not only shows you are a proud Democrat; it also promotes our club. These items also make great gifts!
