Isn't It Time For You To Join Us?
Would you like to gather with friends to talk politics? Hear stimulating speakers? Would you like
the inside track on great places to volunteer? Have you thought about joining the Woman’s Suburban
Democratic Club??
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 Ben Cardin,
Eleanor Clift, Marvin Kalb and Doris Kearns Goodwin. Click on our Speaker Gallery to see more of
last year's speakers.
** Educational forums of special interest to Maryland women -- In March, we presented 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
2007 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.

Testimonials From New Members:"I had never been to Annapolis to see the legislature in session and really enjoyed
the WSDC trip. Now I can read the news accounts of legislative activity and put faces
and names with the issues."
"I was shocked to read Rajiv
Chandrasekaran's book about the waste and abuse that went on during the Iraq Reconstruction.
It was a real eye-opener, and I never would have known about the book without WSDC."
"I got a real sense of the differences between Ben Cardin
and Kwiese Mfume when they spoke during the primary.
Having them right there on the same stage to answer our questions was really impressive."
"Who
is William Galston? I didn't know, but he is a leading political scientist.
I was fascinated by his sophisticated analysis of the electorate and voting patterns at the WSDC
lunch. I never would have learned about this on my own!"
