TCDCC Becomes a Membership Organization
At the December 2004 TCDCC reorganization meeting, a majority of PCOs voted for TCDCC to become a membership organization. What does that mean? Simply put, we will be asking local Democrats to pay a nominal fee to help us defray the costs of running this organization. Many other county Democrat organizations are already doing this successfully and we believe this move will help us deliver quality, timely and informative newsletters, host interesting speakers, and organize forums that are of interest to Democrats in our community.
TCD’s main goal is to get good Democrat candidates elected to local office and that takes money. We also have to run the organization efficiently in order to be most effective in achieving that goal…that takes money, too. This nominal membership fee will help us safeguard campaign funds raised through the Burger Booth, Champagne Brunch, JJ Dinner, and other TCD events so that those funds can be used more for campaigns and less to pay for the costs of running the organization.
What do you get for your investment in your local Democrat party?
You will regularly receive an informative TCD newsletter, discounts at select forums and events, a TCD membership card, and, best of all, our sincere gratitude for helping us make this grassroots organization one that works for all of us!
The suggested membership fee is $20 per person per year. We realize that some Democrats can afford to pay more than $20 and for others $20 would be a hardship.
Democrats do not discriminate based on ability to pay. Of course, anyone who believes and votes by the principles and values of the Democrat Party is a member of the Democrat Party. However, submitting the Membership Form with complete and updated information will demonstrate your commitment to helping us build a strong grassroots organization.
