San Diegans Invited to Have Conversations with Elected Leaders at Encanto Street Fair

San Diego, CA. The San Diego Democratic Women’s Club will serve as the host for several elected leaders and candidates during the Encanto Street Fair on Saturday, August 18, 2007 from 11am-8pm. SDDWC President Pat Washington said “Our club is eager to serve the San Diego Democratic County Party by tabling at the Encanto Street Fair and providing Festival attendees with useful elections materials. But, we also wanted to provide Festival goers with a convenient opportunity to meet with elected leaders and others.”

Arranging for conversations with elected leaders offers the club a chance to bring political leaders and Festival goers together at a specific time and place. Washington added, “Often, work-or family-- demands make it difficult for the typical resident to visit public officials in their District offices. Having elected leaders set aside a specific hour to meet with constituents at the Encanto Street Fair—which is free and open to the public-- is a good way to bring elected leaders and the voting public together.”

A partial list of elected leaders or candidates for office who will spend an hour or two at the San Diego County Democratic Party booth with the San Diego Democratic Women’s Club members includes Hon. Shelia Jackson, Vice President, San Diego Unified School Board, District E and Pat Moriarty, Candidate, 4th Seat Chula Vista City Council (11:00-Noon); Trustee Arlie Ricasa, President Sweetwater School Board (Noon-1:00pm); 1:00pm-2:00pm—Congressman Bob Filner, California's 51st District (1:00pm-2:00pm); Assemblymember Mary Salas, 79th Assembly District (1:30pm-2:30pm);Todd Gloria, Candidate, San Diego City Council, District 3 (2pm-4pm). Admission to the Encanto Street Fair is free to the public.

The San Diego Democratic Women’s Club meets the fourth Saturday of each month from 10am until Noon. More information is available at the club’s website: http://thesandiegodemocraticwomensclub.org/.
