There are THREE items in this email: #1 HD37 Chair Position up for grabs; #2 Next HD37 Meeting 1-27-09; #3 New ACT - Community Action group created for Dems.
#1 HD37 Democrats Chair Position OPEN
Reogranization of the Arapahoe Democrats is scheduled for 2-7-09. This includes the election of House District Chairs for all of Arapahoe County - among many other positions. I've decided NOT to run for HD Chair this time - I have several personal issues that need my complete focus. I've sure enjoyed working with all of you for the past 10 years. YOU are the ones who vote, volunteer, call, support our candidates - I value your hard work and your friendship.
SO - who would like to take over the reins for HD37? This is a volunteer position - coordinating volunteers, organizing meetings (HD37 Meetings are already scheduled at CB & Potts through June 2009), phone calling, attending meetings, web site blogging, emailing, etc. Please let me or Arapahoe Dems Chair Mike Hamrick (mike@arapahoedems.org or 303-518-1733) know if you are interested in running. I will be available for training and consultation to the next lucky HD37 chair.

#3 Arapahoe Community Team (ACT) Created
From Todd Mata 1-5-09 -
Hello Everybody,
Well, we are 2 weeks away from President-elect Obama's inauguration. So far, Barack seems to be making all the right moves and appointing some pretty solid cabinet choices…which he is definitely going to need in order to tackle the nation's problems that seem to be mounting on a daily basis!
As you all know by now, President Obama and his Transition Team are definitely going to be looking to us to provide him the support that he and our country will need to begin addressing these problems. To that end, your friendly neighborhood Arapahope Coordinators have decided to take on the next big challenge…forming Arapahope Community Team ("ACT"), a grass-roots organization capable of rallying our friends and neighbors just like we did during the campaign!
Now that your organization is up and running, there is something we need more than anything…your input and support. So, we'd like to hear from you again and find out what's important to you and what you would like to see change in our community. The date we have set to roll-out ACT and this initiative is January 10th. We've reserved=2 0Meeting Room B at Koelbel Library from 3pm to 5pm. Light refreshments will be served and we hope to see you there.
As you all know, getting Barack elected was only the first step in winning back our country. There is a lot of work left to do and our country and community are counting on each of us to step up. In order to do that, we are working closely with the Obama transition team through this permanent community organization that is based off of your Team Arapahope. Thanks to Donna Galassi, we've also developed our own website which is www.arapahope.org At this website, you can get the latest information on issues and initiative being put forward by the Transition team, as well as, our local representatives. Please check this out and complete the on-line survey.
Remember, it's a new day and a new challenge. But, as recent experience has taught us, we know that, by working together, we can accomplish anything.
Kind Regards,
Mike Clapman
