Calendar of Events
Loss of a great friend - Phil Donovan
With deepest sadness, we inform you of the loss of a great friend, Phil Donovan. Phil died Saturday, May 31, 2008, in Wimberly, Texas, where he had just completed building his second home. Phil was a previous officer of Bellaire Democrats, and volunteered one day a week at Harris County Democratic Party. For many years he worked as an Election Clerk in Precinct 128. Phil served on Bellaire City Council in 1981-82, filling out a term for a councilman who had moved out of state.
Linda Norris, Bellaire Democrats Treasurer, stated "He was a stalwart, and I will miss his smiling face, sharp wit, and his strong moral compass".
Bellaire Democrats express our heartfelt sympathy to Phil's wonderful wife, Barbara Donovan, and to his two children. Texas has lost a remarkable man, but his memory will remain with us forever.
New Fiscal Year for Bellaire Democrats
Bellaire Democrats began its new fiscal year on June 1, 2008. So, it's time for loyal Democrats to send in membership renewals for the fiscal year June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009. Those who have not previously been members are invited and encouraged to join. While we certainly need and encourage donations to Bellaire Democrats, we structure the membership dues so that everyone can afford to join. Please go online to www.BellaireDemocrats.org to download the membership renewal/application form, and mail the form and check to Bellaire Democrats, c/o Linda Norris, Treasurer, 5117 Grand Lake St, Bellaire TX 77401-4923.
Yard signs and bumper stickers
One of the benefits of being a member of Bellaire Democrats is the ability to have yard signs and/or bumper stickers of your favorite Democratic candidates delivered to your door. The club tries to maintain an inventory of signs for national and local, county and state Democratic candidates. Campaign materials cost money, of course. Bellaire Democrats picks up campaign materials at the candidates' offices and makes contributions to cover the costs. In turn, members are encouraged to send political contributions to Bellaire Democrats to keep the project going. Please email Pat Durio, club president, to request signs.
Other Notes:
a. Please visit and bookmark the webpage of the Bellaire Democrats at: www.BellaireDemocrats.org . We will do the best we can to keep you up-to-date about events, issues and elections. At the webpage you can find links to the Harris County Democratic Party, as well as the Harris County Clerk and other informative sites.
c. We attempt to limit our E-mail transmissions to no more than two messages per month (one for the Calendar of Events, and one for the Newsletter). In order to reduce the financial and environmental cost of mailouts, we encourage members to receive communications by E-mail. However, if you prefer to receive communications by U.S. mail, that is okay. Send your communication preference request to Patrick Durio at: patrick.durio@durio.pro.
Thanks!
