Dear Democrats of South Oakland county

Yippee! We did it!

Thanks to all the dozens of DSOC members who volunteered to knock doors, drop lit, phonebank, text voters and poll greet, as well as those who worked as election workers and challengers. 

In all of our turf, turnout was significantly higher than turnout in the 2022 midterms and nearly equaled turnout for the 2024 presidential election. We can be proud of that.

So, let’s celebrate! In lieu of a regular meeting this month, we will meet on Nov. 19 at a local bar or restaurant to celebrate. Details coming soon. We will present the Nominations Committee’s slate of recommendations for the DSOC officers for 2027 - 29. We have some good people who have stepped up to take a larger role in the club.

Red Cross Blood Drive sponsored by DSOC at OP Community Center, Nov. 11 from 12 noon to 6 p.m. We need a couple of volunteers to check in those donating. Sign up here to volunteer.

Go to redcross.org to sign up to donate. There are plenty of open slots.

The DSOC Holiday party will be on Dec. 10 at the Gillham Rec Center in HW. Sign up here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/2026holiday 

Please sign up so we know how much food to order. Also, we cannot take cash at the door.

Yippee, again! Let’s celebrate!

DSOC merch. PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR STORE IS CURRENTLY OFFLINE WHILE WE ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW VENDOR. STAY TUNED.Hoodies, sweatshirts, T-shirts, totes and hats will be available in our store when we are back online. 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!

Please note, it happens occasionally that someone sends a “spoofing” email—one that appears to have come from me, but I didn't write. If it looks suspicious, it probably is. I will NEVER ask you to send me money or your credit card. Be vigilant!
