Thank You Party for John McLaughlin, Jr. and Family and the Vote Yes MelroseCommittee

Celebrate Melrose this holiday season at the home of Linda O’Koniewski and David Bubier, 3 South Cedar Park, starting at 7 PM .   

A personal note from Linda O’Koniewski – “Having chaired the Proposition 2 ˝ override campaign back in 1992, I know too well that the chairman of a political campaign is responsible for the debt accrued as a result of the political efforts.  At that time, the community came forward and generously eradicated my debt.  I would like to ask you to join me in alleviating the substantial campaign debt derived from Melrose Middle School override campaign and to bring a check to the party made payable to Vote Yes Melrose.  If you can’t join us in the celebration, please forward your check to Vote Yes Melrose ; c/o John McLaughlin at 41 North Ave , Melrose .    I encourage you to please forward this invitation to anyone you think might want to join us to celebrate the success of the Middle School ballot question and the building of a strong community committed to education.”

VICTORY CARD FOR DEMOCRATS IN MASSACHUSETTS
--Toni Whitmore

Don't miss the boat to help our candidates, yourself, your City Committee, and the Massachusetts Democratic Party.  How?  By applying for the Victory credit card, a new initiative of the MDP.  If you have not signed up yet, do it today.  The Victory Master Card is issued by Juniper Bank, a partner with the MDP in this initiative.  Applications are available from your Ward or City Chair. All you have to do is fill out the application (no application fee), submit the application, and within 4-6 weeks you will receive your Victory Card (Platinum Master Card).

Why another credit card?  This one is unique.  Following your application and one purchase with the Victory Card, the Party receives $40 from Juniper Bank.  If the application is coded with the Melrose Democratic City code, the State Committee will reimburse the City Committee $10 for every application.  The Party also receives money every time you use it (.45% of each purchase is reimbursed to the MDP coffers).  This is an important initiative that could potentially earn enough money to fund the Party's operations each year and provide resources for the Party to assist local committees and candidates.  We all have too many cards now; so just cut up those other ones and onto Victory in 2004 with your Mass Dems credit card.  Questions, comments, or applications, call Toni Whitmore, Ward 3 Chair, (781.979-0098.  Sign up friends and family members over 18.  Each application means more support for our candidates. Remember - each card plus one purchase with the card equals $30 for the State + $10 for Melrose Democratic City Committee!
