To celebrate Pride month, the Whatcom County Young Democrats will be hosting a fundraiser for the Evergreen AIDS Foundation.

The fundraiser will be on June 18th at 6 pm.  The location is Chuckanut Brewery and Kitchen which is located at 601 w. Holly street in Bellingham.

We will have live music, raffle drawings, and the chance to meet with other members of the community on a beautiful summer night.

The cost is five dollars at the door.  All of the money will be going to Evergreen AIDS.  Food and beer will also be available for purchase.

Please come out for this event to support such a great cause!  We will have representatives from the AIDS foundation speaking, as well as representatives from Whatcom County Democrats as well.  Mayor Pike will also be attending, as well as former representative Kelli Linville.

Hope to see you all there, all ages welcome!

“The prospect of a largely content-free election, based primarily on yard signs and glossy mailers, is depressing”

-Jean Melious

Similarly Vincent Buys, the Republican running against Kelly Linville, is refusing a debate offer.  We’ll have to wait and see if this is coincidence or part of strategy by conservatives of keeping voters uninformed.
