Kathryn “Tinker” Harvey<\/p><\/div>\n

Democratic Women of DuPage County will be holding their first ever Tinker Harvey Founder\u2019s Day and Campaign Kick-Off<\/strong> on Saturday, May 17th, 2-4 PM at Emmet\u2019s Alehouse, 5200 S. Main Street, Downers Grove.<\/p>\n

Tinker Harvey, who died on December 10th, 2013, was a force for the Democratic Party in\u00a0DuPage County for nearly five decades, and over the years was a champion for issues ranging from women\u2019s rights, the environment, and fair housing, issues still relevant today. She was also a founding member of the board of directors for Illinois Democratic Women. The capstone of her career was seeing Barack Obama elected in 2008, and by a majority in DuPage County!<\/p>\n

Tinker once told her son, Miles, that \u201cin order to be exceptional, sometimes you had to be the exception!\u201d<\/p>\n

This event will be an opportunity to meet candidates, network, and enjoy the company of fellow Democratic leaders.<\/p>\n

Heavy appetizers will be served and there will be a cash bar. The expense<\/strong> will be $25 for non-members, $20 for members, and $100 for sponsors. Please RSVP<\/strong> by May 15 to Kevin Allen, lkj1062@me.com<\/a>. Donations will also be welcomed by your favorite candidates.<\/p>\n
