A message from DPDC Chairman, Bob Peickert:<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

Democrat Day<\/a> during the Illinois State Fair is Thursday August 16. The brunch will be at the Crowne Plaza<\/a>, 3000 S. Dirksen Pkway in Springfield<\/a>. Number is 217-529-7777.<\/p>\n

The brunch starts at 8:30 (doors open) and goes until approximately 11:00. Many speakers including VP Joe Biden<\/strong><\/span> as keynote speaker. Last year we had 1,800 and this year they will cram in more. Tickets are $100 and $40. The $100 tickets are for premium seating, closer to the stage and speakers. The $40 tickets are somewhere else, no promise on where. In the past we got the premium tables when tickets were $60. With the options now we are giving people options, so we may not all be together. So far 11 have reserved the $100 tickets and 10 the $40. So we have 9 more $100 tickets to sell. If we get more requests for the $40 tickets we will add another table. Please let me know asap if you would like to go and the ticket you want to purchase.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Most of us go down the night before – Wednesday August 15. DPDC is planning to have a reception that afternoon (Probably 4-7). There will be others from 6 on. Kwame Raoul will have one and the collar county chairs will end the night with a reception from 6-9 at the Crowne Plaza. Information about all these events will be sent out once we know who is attending.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Following the brunch some of us go to the state fair<\/a> for a few hours. In the past we had a Democrat tent where we went for food drinks and speeches. We leave for home about 3 or 4, but that’s all up to you. We also plan on having DPDC tshirts for sale. We want to show the 1800 that the Blue Wave is alive in DuPage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Best place to stay is the Crowne Plaza although other hotels around there are available. Just google the hotels on Dirksen Pkwy. We also suggest carpooling.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, who are the last 9 – $100 ticket purchasers? We could do another table if more sign up.\u00a0$40 are always available.\u00a0 PLEASE pass this on to others in your township who might be interesting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks<\/div>\n

Bob Peickert<\/p>\n

DuPage Democratic Committee Chairman<\/p>\n
