GADC Ways to Volunteer-Doing or Assisting
We are at a Crossroads in our country and state. Does Democracy and the rule of law prevail? Or, do we let dishonest and power focused Republicans continue to take away our rights, isolate our country, and make us less safe? Winning at the ballot box is the only recourse we have. Every fair minded able-bodied Democrat must participate if we are going to prevail. Learn how you can make a difference when you take our survey at the meeting. Democracy works if we all contribute. Survey by Nancy Fisher, Come to Main Street Cafe at 627 Main Street Tuesday January 9 at 6PM to order food and meeting starts at 6:30.

The last election cycle we were able to give over $3.400 dollars to Democratic candidates. We attended July 4th celebrations, registered voters, marched and drove in parades, bought magnetic signs, paid for literature and printing, parade fees and bought giveaway door prizes. Your yearly dues make all of this possible.
Hunger in Garland
We recognize there are many food insecure people in our community. You will be asked to bring specific food items to each meeting to help meet that need. Cheryl Goldwater will be communicating with Good Samaritans in Garland each month to let us know items needed. This month cereal is the need. Bring 2 or 3 boxes of cereal to the meeting Tuesday January 9. Last month GADC made a cash donation to Good Samaritans. We donated half the money made off Political Bingo. We will announce the amount of that donation at the January meeting.
