Calendar
Please plan on joining us for our August meeting. This is an extremely important meeting, as members of the WCDP Executive Committee will be electing a new county party chair to replace our outgoing chair Bethe Goldenfield as she retires after decades of service to our party. We’ll also be recapping our efforts in the August 8th election — recognizing the hard work of everyone who volunteered, and celebrating our victory in blocking Issue 1. Because of that high-priority business, we won’t have a guest speaker at our August meeting.
We will be live-streaming the meeting on our Facebook page for those who aren’t able to attend in-person, but in-person attendance is required for Executive Committee members to vote on any party business. There is no process in the WCDP Bylaws for proxy voting or for remote voting at an in-person meeting.
Mark your calendars now: Our 2023 Gala & Silent Auction will be at 1:00pm on Sunday, August 20, 2023, at the Manor House in Mason. The WCDP Gala is always a good time with spectacular speakers, great food, and fellowship — and the silent auction is our main fundraising event every year.
We’ve already confirmed two great guest speakers: Ohio Supreme Court Justice Melody Stewart and ODP Chairwoman Liz Walters. Two dynamic, passionate Democrats!
Tickets are $80 each, or sponsor a table of eight for $600.
You can buy your tickets on our ActBlue page or by mailing a check to the Warren County Democratic Party, PO Box 705, Lebanon, OH 45036.
Silent Auction Donations Needed
The silent auction is by far the biggest money-raiser at the gala, and helps keep ticket prices down as well as funding the party’s ongoing operations, helping to support Democratic candidates, and funding local organizing. Our goal for this year’s silent auction is to focus on quality items and themed baskets, including “local content” baskets.
Please help us make this year’s Gala successful by donating items you may have, and asking for donations from your favorite businesses and restaurants. Click here for some suggestions and a donation form.
The Warren County Democratic Party has adopted a stretch of US-42 just north of Lebanon (near our former headquarters), which we periodically walk to keep clear of litter.
Join us to help clean up Warren County! We’ll meet at our (current) WCDP Headquarters and proceed to our portion of the highway to clean up.
Please join Congressman Greg Landsman and Mayor Aftab Pureval on August 26th for a kick-off event in support of Joy Bennett for Mason City Council!
Joy Bennett was an important part of the resounding win in 2021 of a more moderate, collaborative slate of Mason City Council members. Now she wants to join that body so that Mason can reach its full potential and focus on issues that will truly improve the lives of its citizens.
She has earned a reputation for being a passionate listener, a committed advocate, and a creative problem-solver for the city who will serve with the energy and engagement you deserve in a Mason city council member.
Your donation will help her print and distribute information to those most likely to vote in this year’s election and solidify her victory in November.
The event will be held in Mason at the home of Sarah & Brenda Burton-Price, with the exact location provided upon RSVP. For questions, contact joyformason@gmail.com.
Join us for our monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of every month!
For those who can’t attend in person, we’ll be streaming the meetings on our Facebook page.

Please join us for our October meeting! This will be our last county party meeting before the crucial November election, and we’ll talk about what we all can do on the final push to enshrine reproductive rights in our state constitution and elect Democrats to school boards and local seats!
Please note that the meeting is not on our usual Wednesday night because the Admin Building had a previous booking for that evening.
This meeting will be streamed on Facebook for anyone who isn’t able to attend in-person.
