Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know about a couple of things. The first is that we will be cleaning up our highway in the adopt-a-highway program on Saturday March 19th at 2pm. If you are interested in helping clean up our highway please RSVP to jcd@juniata.edu by Thursday March 17th.
In other exciting news Pennsylvania College Democrats (PACD) has released information about convention. Convention will be April 1st, 2nd and 3rd at Temple. There is a lot of exciting trainings and speaker's for this year's convention, and it would be great to bring a big delegation from Juniata to PACD convention again this year. If you are interested in going please reply to jcd@juniata.edu by noon on Monday March 14th. Anyone who expresses interest in going to convention after that will not be eligible for funding from Juniata College Democrats.
Shortly after that March 14th deadline we will announce how much the club will pay for convention for those going. Right now convention would cost $80 a person, but the club will try to pay for some of those costs, but we cannot guarantee how much of those costs the club will be able to pay for right now. If you would like the club to help pay for your trip please do not register for convention yet. Everyone going to convention will receive instructions about registering for convention around Wednesday March 17th. If you do plan on going to convention please also RSVP on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=191561404207733
Lastly there are a lot of dangerous things going on in the state and country politically. You can read up on the environmental damage going on in PA and the country here (long article but worth the read): http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/27/us/27gas.html?pagewanted=1&ref=general&src=me

You can read more about the dangers the Republican Party is causing for women here:

These things going on right now are why we need you involved in the political process. Please consider helping us make the Huntingdon Community a little cleaner, and becoming a better advocate for the Democratic Party by going to convention.
In Solidarity,
Zach Gordon
