Dear Neighbor,

Last November both Democratic candidates for Somers Town Board won their elections. Among our many civic achievements, we are proud that the Somers Democratic Club was very instrumental in achieving that historic victory, a major step in establishing permanent two-party government for our town.

We are one of the largest civic groups in Somers with over 400 members. Our Somers Democratic Club News Flash regularly provides information about National, State, County and local issues to registered democrats in Somers. We give four annual Civics Awards to outstanding local students. The Club has donated funds to support special projects for the children in our district, including the creation of the schoolyard habitat at SIS and equipment for the Media Dept. at SHS. We have supported the Somers Public Library, the Somers Volunteer Fire Dept. the Somers Education Foundation and Destination Imagination teams. We donated a bench in the Somers Unity Garden to help us all memorialize the victims of Sept. 11 th . One of our most popular events is our annual Democrat of the Year award dinner every June.

The Somers Democratic Club holds periodic non-partisan public issues forums. Some of our past topics were on affordable housing, contract garbage collection, congregate care, youth services, water resources featuring guest speaker Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and A Conversation with NYS Comptroller Alan Hevesi. In cooperation with the Somers Education Foundation and The Northern Westchester Shelter, we sponsored a STAR forum on teen dating abuse at Somers High School.

We are an activist organization concerned with the betterment of Somers for all of its citizens. Our efforts need your support. To become involved or lend financial support, or both, please fill out the application on the back panel. We need your help! Together we will make a difference.

Sincerely,
Andy Pecunia
President
