Dear Young Dems:

The next meeting of the Young Democrats of Richmond County will be held Thursday, February 18, at 8 p.m. in the back room of Jody's Club Forest, 372 Forest Avenue.

This month we will hear from two guest speakers:

* Dina Tush, whose daughter Jessica was murdered in 2008 by her ex-boyfriend, Thomas Paolino. This February has been designated as National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month.

* Carmen Cognetta, counsel to Congressman Michael McMahon, who is also a former Young Democrat.

We will also be holding a collection of t-shirts (new and used) for the "50,000 T-Shirts for Haiti" project.

Hope to see you there!

Amy Lavelle
President
Young Democrats of Richmond County
