Past Meeting Recap
Our fabulous women members!
December 2008 Yes, we will...
Suzanne and Patty asked one night if we were the only Democratic women in Orange County and said, "Let's form a club!" and met with Debbie, who said, "Why Not?", and met with Shirley who said, "I'm in", and met with Joan, who said, "I'll host" which led to the intrepid seven, Linda, JoVanna, Debbie, Joan, Suzanne, Patty and Shirley, who said, "We Will" and the rest is history (herstory)! ;-)
We now number over 80 members and are still growing...
