Lynchburg Regional Democratic HQ Grand Opening

I wanted to take a moment to alert new readers (and remind our regulars) of the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony we are having for our Lynchburg Regional Democratic Headquarters, TONIGHT (Friday) at 7PM. This is event is a personal thrill as well since it has been the collaborative focus of a very dynamic and hard working (and not so small) team of people from the core committees of Lynchburg, Amherst, Campbell County and surrounding areas.

The event starts at 7 PM at our headquarters location of 2514 Langhorne Road. For those familiar with the area, this is directly across from the E. C. Glass High School parking lot.

We also have a fantastic list of speakers and honored guests, among them:

• Kerry J. Donley, Chair of the Democratic Party of Virginia (keynote speaker)
• Dorothy Blackwell, 6th Dist. Field Organizer for Va Victory '04
• Rick O'Dell, Coordinator of Va Veterans for Kerry
• State Senator Creigh Deeds, Candidate for Atty. General
• Delegate Chap Petersen (Fairfax), Candidate for Lt. Governor
• Senator Phillip Puckett (Russell County), Candidate for Lt. Governor
• Delegate Viola Baskerville (Richmond), Candidate for Lt. Governor
• Al Weed (Nelson County), Candidate for Congress - 5th Dist
• Carl B. Hutcherson, Jr., Mayor of Lynchburg
• Nearly every Chair of the Dem. Committees throughout the region

Throw in food, music, gobs of cheering local Democrats and a chance to talk one-to-one with candidates for offices in current and upcoming elections and you've got a great way to spend a Friday evening.

Come, bring friends and help us turn Virginia blue in 2004!
