Calendar of Events

Join us at 815 Chop House

We are meeting once again at the 815 Chop House on Wednesday, November 13, at 7:00 p.m. to eat, drink, socialize, and make new friends with like-minded people. Last month we welcomed over 20 attendees, and we're hoping for another good turnout this month. We'll gather in the bar, and will keep the conversation going until at least 9:00 p.m. Ask for the Drinking Liberally group at the door, or look for our Drinking Liberally table sign.

On this day in history

• On this day in 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall was dedicated. Often called simply, "The Wall", the simple and quietly reverent memorial honors the men and women who served in the controversial Vietnam War, and lists the names of more than 58,000 Americans who gave their lives in service to their country.
• On this day in 1953 during the Red Scare, Mrs. Thomas J. White of the Indiana Textbook Commission, called for the removal of references to the book Robin Hood from textbooks used by the state’s schools. Mrs. Young claimed that the book was “a Communist directive in education". Perhaps a precursor of Trumpian thinking.

Drinking Liberally is an informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits with us while you raise your glass. Share ideas with friends new and old. Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to talk politics or any other topic that comes to mind. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a book club — just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk politics. Don't worry if you don't drink alcohol. Many of our members prefer soft drinks.

Drinking Liberally is a nationally chartered non-profit. It is not affiliated with the Democratic Party. Learn more about Drinking Liberally and Living Liberally at www.livingliberally.org/drinking

The Democratic Precinct Committeepeople of District 1 invite you to join them for Covfefe Klatch at the Fox River Grove Panera. Come hear what's going on in national and local politics, find out what you can do to help, and speak your mind in a relaxing environment with your new like-minded friends.  We really do hope you join us! 

Food and drink are available for purchase.

Join us for data management and data syncing activities - new volunteers are welcome!  We'll continue with data syncing and tagging event attendees.

Afternoon Happy Hour with the
Sun City Area Democrats

(Includes McHenry County District 5 & 6 and Rutland & Hampshire Townships in Kane County) 

Come out to Casa Rubi-os to meet other Democrats, grab a drink, and chat (or vent) about the important issues of the day.  Mingle with other like-minded individuals, and sometimes even our elected officials and candidates. Find out about local events and ways you can make a difference. We have information about recent legislation such as the Fair Tax Amendment, and how you can hold your elected officials accountable.

Bring a friend!  Let's keep looking for those Democrats hiding right in front of our eyes or people who may have switched over to our way of thinking!
