Did you feel that? That’s not just a cool breeze. Change is in the air! Folks in our party and across several aisles are EXCITED! Like you, they’re ready to vote for Kamala Harris to be our first woman President and for Tim Walz as her faithful VP, and they’re willing to not just put signs in their yards, but show up and volunteer to help Dems up and down the ballot get elected. We’re less than 60 days out from this most consequential election in our lifetimes. And we need all hands on deck. Come to our monthly club meetings to meet your Dem candidates running to represent you and find out how you can help them with their campaigns. Join our Flower Mound Area Democrats Facebook group as well as the Denton County Democrats Discussion Group if you haven’t already so you can have the most up-to-date information on how to get involved and volunteer with the various campaigns (block-walking & phone-banking). Donate to your local candidates’ campaigns! Find their campaign websites and hit that donate button. Want a yard sign? Reach out to the candidates, or your precinct chair, or one of us here in leadership, and we’ll make sure you get signs. Want to finally start meeting some of your fellow Dems here locally? Join us for any or all of our up-coming social events. We’re ready to meet you too and help you get connected. So mark your calendars and join us. Together we can flip your neighborhood, flip our county, flip our state, turn Texas BLUE, and save our democracy!

***A Quick Word on Venue Etiquette***
We are always grateful to the venues that are willing to host us for our gatherings. Out of appreciation for their willingness to host and accommodate us and out of respect to the waitstaff who work hard to serve us, let’s make sure each of us are 1) Being extra-patient with and respectful of waitstaff who are waiting upon a sometimes extra-large group of us. 2) Paying not just our tab but tipping extra (20% is reasonable, customary, and highly recommended).
We are the Flower Mound Area Democrats. Showing our appreciation and respect for the venues that host us and the service workers that serve us in these spaces is not just about ensuring our image in the community is a positive one, it’s simply the right thing to do.
