The SaddleBrooke Democratic Club is looking for volunteers to fill the roles of vice president and membership chair. These positions don’t demand much time, but they play a key part in keeping our club active and strong. Anyone interested in serving our Democratic Club should email Holly Lyon at hollacelyon@gmail.com, Ginny Rood at ginrood@gmail.com, or Peter Bakke at peter@bakke.com. We need your participation!
The club had a great brainstorming session at our last meeting, exploring ideas for registration drives, postcarding, tubing, phone outreach, and other ways to stay politically relevant in an overwhelming media environment. We will be following up on these ideas as the 2026 election approaches.
Ticket ordering is now open for the club’s annual dinner and fundraiser at the SaddleBrooke MountainView ballroom on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, at 5 p.m. Tickets and dinner selections are now available for sale online at saddlebrookedemocrats.org, or you can print the form on the club’s website and send a check. Ordering will close Jan. 11, 2026. This year’s speaker is Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, and we expect the event to sell out. Mark your calendar and join us!
The next club meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 3:30 p.m. in the SaddleBrooke One Activities Center. There is no club meeting in December.
We wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season.
