May is Women for Obama Month!

Throughout May, a series of house parties will offer lively opportunities for women to show their support for President Obama. Each house party has a different theme, so you can attend each time and enjoy the company of friends old and new, as we hone our skills as persuasive Democrats!

All of the house parties will run from 7-8:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served, and a good time will be had by all. Party dates and places are also on the Calendar page. For additional information, please contact Dianna Richardson at 540-250-3809.

Moving the Campaign Forward, May 30th, Home of Dianna Richardson, 1431 Breckenridge Dr, Blacksburg

Now it's time to put our newfound skills to work. Our party theme is "practice makes perfect." In the company of friends, we'll tackle those challenging situations when the person who answers the phone or door doesn't share your political views. Sign up here.

Dianna has these great t-shirts for sale, also. Contact her to get yours!
