Isn't  It Time For You To Join Us?

Now that the presidential campaigns are rolling, would you like to gather with friends to talk politics?  Hear stimulating speakers? Would you like the inside track on great places to volunteer in this campaign cycle? Have you thought about joining the
Woman’s Suburban Democratic Club??



It's a wonderful way to make new friends 
who share your passion for politics.

Starting with  Eleanor Roosevelt speaking to the club in 1957, WSDC has offered women (and men) an opportunity for lively exchanges with leading politicians, authors and political thinkers, as well as opportunities for political activism on the local and national levels.  I invite you to join WSDC.   It’s a great way to stay involved!  

Membership in WSDC offers:

     **
Monthly luncheon meetings or Saturday teas with fascinating guest speakers, including elected officials, candidates, authors, journalists and leading political activists -- Recent speakers have included Chris Van Hollen, Ben Cardin, Barbara Mikulski, Haynes Johnson, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Linda Greenhouse, and County Council President Marilyn Praisner. Go to our Speaker Gallery to see more of last year's speakers.   

     **
Educational forums of special interest to Maryland women -- In March, we are presenting a special private slide show on global warming with Lisa Van Susteren, the slide show used in the documentary film "An Inconvenient Truth.”

    **
Legislative research and lobbying on the state and local level -- In January Club members went to Annapolis to meet with delegates and watch the Assembly in action.  Later in the spring about 60 of us lunched in the Rayburn Senate Office Building and heard from both Maryland senators and several congressmen.

    ** An option to join the bi-monthly WSDC Political Book Club – Their most recent book was Imperial Life in the Emerald City, by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Washington Post Baghdad Bureau Chief in 2003-04, and now Assistant Managing Editor, who spoke to the membership at our December tea.

    ** Practical and reliable information about volunteer opportunities at the Democratic Party headquarters, in campaigns, and in special outreach efforts.
 

For 50 years Woman’s Suburban Democratic Club has been an integral part of Montgomery County’s proud tradition of activism and reform. We hope you'll join us for the exciting years ahead.
