Local Democrat's holiday party

here are a few photos from our annual Whatcom Democrat's Annual Holiday Party...once again it is so good to be associated with all these good people as we work to have an effect on the policy enacted in our name at all level of our elective representative government. good food, good company and hope going into the new year.

Democrat's Holiday Party 2009

and here are a few of my favorite moments in video....

this one is a scan of the crowd in the beginning, starring Michele and Judy.

and then Council Member Louise Bornjson spoke.She has been a tireless public servant and Bellingham has been so fortunate to have her on the Council. thank you, Louise!

and then Whatcom County Council Member Laurie Caskey-Schreiber spoke.Laurie fought for the people of Whatcom County as a council member and has pledged to keep up the fight. I am honored to be in the fight with her. She is a class act and a real fighter! thank you, Laurie.

and then this moment when John told the story of Henry Cagey coming up to him 2 years ago and announcing his leadership in the Democratic Party. And he has been proving his leadership ever since!!

and then a big thank you to the volunteers in the office for making this thing happen day in and day out. thanks!!!!

and then finally a much needed dose of music and merriment, albeit as Maggie was leaving on the elevator. it's always fun when Maggie's at the party!!!
