Hello Flower Mound Area Democrats!  

Check out our calendar of events & activities for September. We may still be waiting on Fall temps to finally arrive to go with our seasonal desire for pumpkin spiced lattes, but we’ve got cool things you can do to help us flip Texas blue. We’ve got our monthly First Fridays Happy Hour, Breakfast Club, Game Night, & Book Club on offer and they are great places to plug in and get to know your fellow Dems better. We’ve got multiple Precinct Chair/Volunteer Trainings offered for those who are interested in helping us get out the Dem vote and create that Blue Wave we all want and need in the upcoming midterm election this November. Our monthly club meeting is, like always, the 3rd Wednesday of every month. At this month’s meeting we’re giving you all one more opportunity to hear directly from the candidates who want & need your vote for the upcoming mid-term election. Election Day may be in November, but Early Voting begins in October. Now’s the time to do your research. So bring your friends, family, & neighbors & come meet the candidates, ask them questions, pick up a sign or two for your yard, important voting information, & find out how you can help Dems win big in the midterms. Scroll on down to see our full list of upcoming events & make your plans to jump in & join us! You can also find all of this information and more on our website: www.flowermoundareademocrats.org, our club’s Flower Mound Area Democrats private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/flowermounddemocrats, and the DCDP’s event page DCDP Events https://www.dentondemocrats.org/events.
