Bettendorf Party

This September 2nd house party is a combination of the Democracy for the Quad Cities Meet Up and a Democracy for America House Party.

The party will raise funds for both DFA and for the student Democrats at one of the local colleges.

Click here for the party bat.

Dr. Alta Price is hosting the event, and she asks that you NOT RSVP through Meet Up.  They want the Meet Up to be canceled so that folks don’t show up at a restaurant somewhere with no one else there.

The party will be held at Alta’s house in Bettendorf at 7pm on Thursday, September 2nd.  If you don’t know how to get there, contact Alta at:

aprice@democracyforiowa.com

At 8:30pm, Howard Dean will be calling into the party!
