Hello Flower Mound Area Democrats!
It’s hot. Dang hot. So hot that all that comes to mind right now are Robin Williams movie quotes from “Good Morning, Vietnam” that we will not share here. (You either remember them or you can Google them.) But, yes, it is that hot. Still work to be done though, places to be, people to meet. We are a growing community of bright blue dots, after all, who require as much care & watering as our currently languishing lawns. So, mark your calendars and make your plans to gather with your fellow Dems and attend this month’s events. And be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom for the “Look Ahead,” because we have some exciting new monthly events planned for September and onward.
FMAD Monthly Club Meeting
When: **No August Club Meeting
Where: N/A
What: No club meeting this month. Stay inside. Stay cool. Hail, Hydration. Rest up and be ready to jump back into action in September, when they tell us the temperatures will finally drop into the 90s and mid to upper 80s, and we’ll all look longingly at our hoodies and dream of pumpkin spice lattes.
FMAD Breakfast Club
When: Saturday, August 19th, 9:00 am
Where: Morning Edition, 380 Parker Square Road, 1400 Cross Timbers Rd, Flower Mound

Where: Market Street 3800 Long Prairie Rd, Flower Mound, TX 75028
What: Come join your fellow Democrats in the cool A/C to write postcards! We’ll be reaching out to remind our neighbors that Flower Mound Democrats do in fact exist and to invite them to get involved just like you. Postcards, pens, and postage are provided! This is a great way to help grow our base locally and energize voters ahead of the next elections.
