2008 OHIO DEMOCRATIC PARTY STATE CONVENTION  

11:30 – 1:00PM       

2nd Annual Women’s Lunch
Ballroom 3 

Last year’s lunch was a huge success.  Join us again this year as hundreds of Democratic women from across the state come together to network and celebrate our collective power and organizational strength.  Some highlights of this year’s lunch include a special guest speaker and an exciting video presentation.  Bring your daughters, mothers, friends and co-workers and come ready to be inspired and energized by other like-minded women.

Our goal this year is to celebrate Ohio Democratic women who are organizing and mobilizing in mass numbers in preparation to elect Democrats in 2008.  Please send in photos of you or other women at local meetings, events, or on the campaign trail.  We will use these photos to put together a photo montage to be featured at the luncheon.  Send the photos electronically in JPG format to Liz Shirey at liz@ohiodems.org or via mail to the Ohio Democratic Party, Attn: Liz Shirey, 340 East Fulton Street, Columbus, OH 43215.
Cost: $75.00
