Reminder: DPBC Holiday Potluck & Vet Center Benefit Set for Tonight

You're all invited to the Democratic Party of Bernalillo County's Third Thursday Meeting tonight, December 20, 2007, at 6:00 PM at the Plumbers and Pipefitters Hall at 510 San Pedro SE in Albuquerque. There'll be a festive Holiday Potluck and you're encouraged to bring donations of food, money, personal items and clothes to benefit the New Mexico Veterans Reintegration Center in Albuquerque. Your contributions will help the Center during the holiday season and beyond.

Our DPBC Chair, Ana Canales, is also encouraging folks to donate holiday wrapping paper and tape so the presents to the Vet Center can be wrapped. You can read more about the Party's Vet Center donation project here. See below for a list of other items you can donate to the cause.
