What is a
"Daisy Card"??
When you become a member of WSDC, you receive announcements in the mail
on our Daisy Cards. These are cards, on bright yellow paper stock, that inform you of our newest event, usually a dynamic
speaker at a luncheon or Saturday tea. It gives you the member and nom-member price, the location and time of the event, and
instructions for how to make a reservation or select your food preferences.

Educating
Voters for 50 Years
1957-2007
The club was founded in 1957 by a group of Maryland women who had worked on the Adlai Stevenson campaign.
The women arranged for Eleanor Roosevelt to address the first membership luncheon.
Since then members have met with presidents, senators and representatives,
ambassadors, media personalities, authors, political commentators and other national figures.

The first speaker at the first luncheon of the Woman's Suburban Democratic Club of
Montgomery County was Eleanor Roosevelt in the spring of 1957.
The club is governed by its Board of Directors,
who serve two-year terms.

Luncheons are a favorite gathering for club members. After
a delicious meal with interesting table mates, a dynamic speaker addresses the group.
There is time for questions and mingling afterwards.
Saturday teas are also popular meeting times, especially
for members who work fulltime. Educational forums usually take place during week-day mornings.
