The LW Democratic Club encourages residents to attend the “No Kings” demonstration on Saturday, March 28. Indivisible reports, “We are making history with the largest day of protest the U.S. has ever seen.” The mission? “No Thrones, No Crowns, No Kings.”
The SBLW Democratic Club is working closely with the Seniors for Peace Club in coordination for a major demonstration under the LW globe from 2-4 p.m.
The LW Democratic Club will host two candidates for the Superior Court of California, Orange County: Judge Ami Sheth Sagel and Robert Mestman, at its club meeting on April 22 at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2.
People are welcome to come early, bring a lunch and enjoy visiting with other like-minded individuals. Light refreshments will be provided by the club.
Sagel is an incumbent currently serving on the Orange County Superior Court, appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2023. She is now seeking to retain her seat.
