Seattle Republicans: 36th District

Dan Satterberg is kicking off his re-election campaign next week on Wednesday, March 17 with a 7:30 breakfast at the downtown Sheraton.  Dan is running for King County Prosecutor, one of the few partisan offices remaining here, and would like your support.

The 36th is being asked to fill a table for Dan, and I hope you will join us there.  It’s just $35 for the event and will help give Dan the resources he needs to run and win.

If you can make it, please let me know as soon as possible.

Wednesday, March 17
7:30 am, with Registration beginning at 6:45 am.
Sheraton Seattle Hotel Grand Ballroom
1400 6th Avenue

Thanks for supporting Dan Satterberg, King County Prosecutor, and the 36th.

The 36th District GOP will not be having our regular meeting this month, but please join us at Mulleady’s Pub, 3055 21st Ave West, Seattle WA 98199, 7:00 pm, this Thursday, December 17th for a no-host gathering to celebrate the season.

Mulleady’s is at the corner of 21st Ave W and Dravus W in Magnolia, easily accessible off of 15th Avenue W for those of you not on Magnolia.  It features a full bar and a nice menu.

All are welcome and it will be most casual.  I hope to see you there.  If you can’t make it, please join us on January 21 for our regular District meeting.

Chair, 36th District Republicans

Please join us tonight in Magnolia for the November meeting of the 36th District Republicans.  This will be our last meeting of the year.  It’s at the United Church of Christ, 3555 W McGraw St and begins at 7:00 pm.  Enterprise Washington, a pro-business association, will be sharing information with us on the state of politics in the 36th and beyond.

Also, if you haven’t done it already, please go to www.kcgop.org and sign up for the Fall dinner, coming up this Saturday.  This year the dinner will be a cut above the usual banquet fare and there will be many auction items available for bid.

I hope to see you at both events.

Glenn Avery
Chair, 36th District Republicans

PS - The dinner is an important fund raising event and helps the Party raise money to support candidates in the 2010 races.  If you cannot attend the dinner, please go online and make a contribution to KCGOP.  Any amount helps.

How liberal are we in the 36th?

Erin McCallum, President, Enterprise Washington, will be leading off our meeting this Thursday, November 19, with a look at the data her organization has developed on the 36th District.  Please join us and you may get an answer to the question.

The meeting is at 7:00 pm, United Church of Christ, 3555 W McGraw in Magnolia.  It will be our last meeting of the year, so please carve a little time out of your schedule and stop by.

I look forward to seeing you Thursday.

Glenn Avery
Chair, 36th District Republicans

The fall dinner is a week from Saturday.  If you haven’t done so already, please sign up for it at www.kcgop.org.

This is a vital activity for the Party, providing funds to keep the organization strong so it can support our candidates in the coming year’s legislative races.  We have an opportunity to take back a few seats but that requires your help.  The 36th is being asked to fill a table but we cannot do that without you.

Michael Medved will be the keynote speaker.  The 2009 KCGOP dinner will be held Saturday, November 21, in the Grand Ballroom of the Hyatt in Bellevue. Please go to www.kcgop.org and make your reservations.

Thank you,

Chair, 36th District Republicans

Please spend an hour or more at the phone bank for Susan Hutchison between now and election day if you possibly can. The phone bank is at 4017 NE 45th St, Seattle, and operates 9am to 9pm.

I spent the last several days at the King County Elections Office observing the ballot processing. I can tell you that it is a close race but we really need to get out our vote for Susan is going to beat Dow.

Please do what you can to help.
