MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
As many of the members of the Sun City Democrats Club are aware, I announced at the March 16 Program Meeting that I will be stepping down as President of the Club, effective March 31. I remain committed to the principles and philosophy that has drawn me to the Democratic Party and the progressive movement. I will stay involved in the Sun City Democrats Club. I have now served a full two year term as President plus three months of a second term. The latter service was borne of my belief that the organization might benefit from continuity in the aftermath of the 2018 elections. Now it is time, I feel, that others shape the organization and its direction. Thank you all for your tremendous support during these two and one-quarter years. In that time, our organization has grown enormously (two to three times the prior size) and our IMPACT entity has raised unprecedented sums to support candidates in more numerous races. This growth has served to make us a “player” in the hurly burly of Democratic entities and magnified our individual voices. Our events have been extremely well attended and we have demonstrated the synergistic effects of combining the social and the political. We have moved to a higher level of activism in the belief that we can influence the thinking and action of our public officials. I am also deeply appreciative of the service of our Board of Directors and their respective committees and assistants. A rapidly growing Club can only be as successful as our ability to communicate to our members, plan events and functions, seamlessly enroll new and renewing members and generally to move us forward to accomplish our mission and Strategic Plan. It is easy to forget that all of these folks are volunteers, freely giving of their time to achieve these goals.They deserve the thanks of all of us. The future of our government-local, statewide and national- is at a critical tipping point. We can make a difference and your help to me has provided ample evidence that you agree. Now is the time to redouble our efforts and I look forward to being an integral part of this undertaking along with the new leadership of our Club. Again, thank you for all of your help and encouragement. Larry Buxbaum April MONTHLY MEETINGAPRIL MONTHLY MEETING Saturday, April 20, 2019 Ballroom, Social 9:30; Meeting 10:00 a.m. NEW!

The Blue Surge IMPACT chart has set our first fundraiser goal at $60,000 and hope to raise this goal even higher as we move forward into 2020.
IMPACT is a nonconnected political action committee (PAC) sponsored by the Sun City Democrats Club. A PAC is required for any group wanting to raise money for candidates seeking political office. IMPACT has its own Treasurer and accounts, thus insulating its funds from those of the Sun City Democrats Club. IMPACT reports to the Texas Ethics Commission and the Federal Election Commission, a requirement that provides transparency in electoral processes.

Because of you we were able to soar past our financial goal for the last election. Thank you! Now it’s time to start again to get even more Democrats elected in the 2020 election. Our goal right now is $60,000 and with your help we can meet this and go beyond as we did last time. Let’s make an even bigger IMPACT! Kim Moran is the Chair of IMPACT. Additional members of the Committee are Vicki Miller, Cheryll Riley, Connie Carden, Pam Gardner and Debbie Bruner.
