HELP DISTRIBUTE COMMON SENSE AT BRUNSWICK OLD FASHIONED DAYS PARADE and at JULY 4TH PARADES

MCDAC is looking for volunteers to pass out Common Sense at the Brunswick Old Fashioned Days Parade on Saturday, June 23, 2007 at 5:30 pm. What we would like to do is have volunteers walk the parade route backwards before the Parade starts and hand out Common Sense to the people waiting for the Parade to start. In 2006 Judge Mary Kovack's volunteers distributed Common Sense in this manner at the Brunswick Parade and the Parades on July 4th. IIf you can help us out in Brunswick or on July 4th, please email joycekimbler@medinacountydemocraticactioncommittee.org.

MIKE TODD FUNDRAISER JUNE 28TH

Medina Township Trustee, and candidate for State Senate, Michael Todd will be the beneficiary of a major fundraising event at Coppertop at Cherokee Hills on June 28th.  Organized by a host committee including Prosecutor Dean Holman, Auditor Mike Kovack, Brunswich Councilmen Vince Carl and Patrick McNamara, and Ralph and Rita Holt and Ed and Marcia Haddad, this event will feature a cocktail hour and hot hors d'oeuvres, and run from 5 to 8 PM.  Tickets for the event begin at $50/person.  Ohio law allows individuals to take a tax credit for up to fifty dollar in donations (one hundred dollars for a couple) to state candidates, so a ticket purchase may be a one for one tax credit from state taxes. 

State Senate Minority Leader Teresa Fedor and State Senator and 16th Congressional District Candidate John Boccieri will be in attendance to support Mike's campaign.  Additionally, the event will feature speeches by other dignitaries and by Mike Todd, to discuss his campaign for the State Senate.  Free beer, wine and soft drinks will be provided, and a cash bar will be available.  Early support is crucial in order for Mike's race to be a success, so please come out.  Walk ins are welcome, but if possible, RSVP to Rita Holt at 330-725-8681 or Pete Zeigler at 330-321-7303.  Checks should be made payable to "Todd for Ohio" (no corporate checks, please), and can be sent to Todd for Ohio, P.O. Box 343, Medina, OH 44258.
