Join us the evening of Thursday, February 27, for the first North Shore Democrats of Travis County’s Meet & Greet of the year. Registration opens at 5:45 pm, and the event is planned from 6-8pm at the Lago Vista POA Activity Center, 2601 American Drive (corner of Boggy Ford and American).
The constant barrage of unprecedented political news is like drinking from a firehose. America is being waterboarded with reactionary initiatives on all sides.
NSD’s February 27 event takes a deep dive into key issues affecting Texans – events and advocacy at the Texas Legislature, school funding and the voucher scam, helping endangered populations, and what you can do to help.
Enjoy social time, food, and refreshments with like-minded friends before and after the business session.
No charge to attend, and no reservations to RSVP. Just show up.
