• Health care is a right.
• Diversity is a strength.
• The economy should work for everyone.
• Facts and truth matter. For a more comprehensive list of what the Democratic Party stands for, Google “2022 Platform–California Democratic Party.”
••• The LW Democratic Club’s monthly club membership meetings are currently being held on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 1 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9, and via Zoom. The goal is to provide an opportunity for all members to participate, those who feel comfortable meeting face-toface indoors as well as for those who don’t.
Plans are currently underway to relocate the monthly meetings to a more suitable venue as soon as possible. The repainting of Clubhouse 2 needs to be completed and technical problems need to be resolved before this can happen.
The Aug. 24 membership meeting in Clubhouse 3 will include a presentation by Judie Mancuso, the endorsed District 72 candidate for election to the California Assembly.
Mancuso is a successful Laguna Beach- based community leader with an unmatched record of service. She is also a gifted speaker.
The club will provide a list of the club’s endorsed candidates for the upcoming General Election soon.
Weather permitting, the Democratic Club’s Information and Hospitality Booth will be open in the parking lot outside Clubhouse 6 from 10:30 a.m.12:30 p.m. every Tuesday until September. The booth will be open on both Tuesdays and Thursdays during October.
