Last Saturday, March 31st, several volunteers hosted a Pancake Breakfast and Book Sale to benefit the Tarrant Count Democratic Party at the TCDP office on Race Street in Fort Worth.  The weather cooperated, in fact we needed some sunblock by the time it was over.

Thanks to Ms. Ollie Anderson from the TCDP Office and Patt Dreyer for organizing the paperwork, and thanks to our many wonderful volunteers who came out to flip pancakes and sell books for OUR TCDP.  It was a lot of fun, and we hope to see YOU there next time.

The weather cooperated on Saturday, and the MCD Volunteers took to the street (Highway 26) to fulfill our quarterly commitment to clean-up our stretch of road in Colleyville.

Thanks to Fran and Gary Rogers, Byron Sibbet, Jack Brocious, Annette Briggs, Kym Wilson, Doris Culver, Mike Patino, Cindy and David Jackson, Miki Hawkins and Suzan Stowe for coming out to help us.

We invite you to come hear Gilberto Hinojosa, candidate for the Texas Democratic Party Chair, at this month’s Mid-Cities Democrats meeting.  Mr. Hinojosa will share his vision for the TDP in the coming years.

The meeting is 7:00PM Thursday, February 23rd at Los Jimadores Tequila Factory, 3314 Harwood Road, Bedford 76021.  Please come early to eat.  The meeting starts at 7:00PM.

Michael Li, Dallas attorney who has been following the Texas Redistricting fight, appeared Sunday morning on Inside Texas Politics with Brad Watson.  Click here to watch the video.

The Mid-Cities Democrats have collected some food items for the senior citizens at Bluebonnet Villa in Bedford, and we plan to deliver more items right before Valentines Day.  IF you have non-perishable items to donate, you can drop them off at Miki Hawkin’s house, 2801 Meadow Creek in Bedford.  Click here for a map.  Donated items can be left on the front porch.

Thanks for doing what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.  All donations are very appreciated.

The Mid-Cities Democrats are teaming up with our friends in the Transport Workers Union and Occupy Fort Worth on a Food Drive to benefit the senior citizens at Bluebonnet Villa in Bedford.  Many seniors there are living on very low incomes, and many of them depend on Meals on Wheels for one meal a day.  For some, this is their only meal of the day.

We are asking that you bring non-perishable food items to the MCD meeting Thursday night.  We will collect all the items and deliver them to a community leader at Bluebonnet Villa for distribution along with a Valentine Day greeting to the residents from MCD, TWU and Occupy Fort Worth.

Here are some suggested food items: Mac and Cheese Boxed Dinners, Spaghetti Boxed Dinners, Packaged Rice or Noodle Dinners, Dinty Moore Packaged Dinners, Hamburger Helper Dinners, Noodles, Rice, Baked Beans, Canned potatoes, Soups, Tunafish, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Canned Fruit, Cereal, Tea Bags, Instant Coffee, Hot Chocolate Packages, Sugar (1 lb boxes), Juice, Cookies, Bread (Bread is really inexpensive from the Bread Stores), Toilet Paper, and Paper Towels.

Thanks for your generosity to our neighbors who need a little help.
