Thanks to Senator Gretchen Whitmer for visiting our North Oakland Democratic Club at the Clansman Gaelic Pub, in Lake Orion on Tuesday, December 15th to talk about her candidacy for Michigan Attorney General.

Thanks also to Kevin Hrit for bringing us up to date with Congressman Gary Peters!

Jason Bauer, Operations Manager and Political Director of the Oakland County Democratic Party discussed OCDP accomplishments in 2009 and goals for 2010. Thanks to Jason for helping us with our last mailing.

Thanks to Francine Melotti and Jody LaPointe for working on our food drive. “Grandpa Bob” at Oxford/Orion FISH asked that we convey his heartfelt thanks to the NODC for our generous donation. We ended up with about 50 lbs. of non-perishable food — and that averages to about two pounds per person who attended our holiday meeting. Not bad at all! NODC member kindness and generosity is appreciated, especially during such tough times in our community. We would like to suggest that we ask our members to bring food donations to every meeting.

To our North Oakland Democrats! We wish you a great holiday season! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
