Thank you for making
the Democratic Club of Ventura's inaugural fundraiser
KEEP IT BLUE
a success!
The Democratic Club of Ventura's inaugural summer fundraiser Sunday, June 30, had something for everyone! The sold out event's 210 attendees were greeted and checked in by a team of amazing volunteers and then joined a room full of energy and enthusiasm as community members and elected representatives met and discussed important issues.
WE HAD A DRONE!

Enthusiastic opening remarks and introductions by 2nd Vice Chair/Fundraising Chair Diana Sparagna and DCV President Matty Park started the program followed immediately by Master of Ceremonies, California State Democratic Party Chairman, Eric C.
