HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
___________________________________________________________________________
In case you missed the message at our last meeting, the Progressive Democrats of Benicia will not meet in December. Instead, on behalf of the steering committee, please accept our best wishes for happy holidays and a great start to your new year.
Invitation to December 11 NSDC Meeting
While PDB won’t be meeting this month, our friends from the Northern Solano Democratic Club (NSDC) are inviting PDB members to attend their upcoming December meeting. This is a meeting you will not want to miss. They are having an informational deep-dive on the history of Flannery Associates/California Forever’s activity in Solano County, what is going on right now, what is coming up, and what we can do about it – together. NSDC’s meeting will feature speakers Duane Kromm and Marilyn Farley (and others to be confirmed).
All are welcome to attend NSDC’s (free) Monday, December 11 meeting, to be held at 7pm over Zoom. To get the Zoom link, email NSDC President Jeanie White at [email protected], and she’ll work with her team to ensure you get the Zoom invitation when it’s ready.
California Forever: Benicia Town Hall
Meanwhile, if you haven’t signed up to attend California Forever’s Town Hall in Benicia, scheduled for Thursday, December 14, from 6 to 8 pm, you can do so by clicking this link and ordering mobile tickets. There are very few tickets left so sign up now if you want to join. I’ll be there, and I hope to see many of our members there, too.
Our Next Meeting
PDB’s next meeting will be Tuesday, January 9, at 7pm, and will be held over Zoom. By then our membership renewal drive for 2024 will be in full swing. We’ll send out more emails about that as we get closer and let you know more about our program for that meeting. If you’d like to renew early, you can click this link and follow instructions.
We look forward to reconnecting with you in 2024.
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, November 14, at 7pm, held on Zoom.

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, October 10, at 7pm, held on Zoom. We’re excited to have our new city manager, Mario Giuliani, as our guest speaker. He’ll be addressing Benicia’s budget crisis and the various and complementary ways the City is working to manage it. We’ll also have a Q&A period for our attendees. Remember, our meetings are open to everyone and everyone is welcome. (Mr. Giuliani is a City employee and the time he spends with PDB does not reflect his support or opposition to any political party. He is speaking to us in an informational capacity.)
