North River Democrats Are Making Waves!
Our club provides social outreach to Democrats in the North River area. We host a variety of educational and social events designed to create a sense of cohesion and support for its members and to increase participation by other area Democrats.
We also provide opportunities for our members to participate in political action activities for increased voter participation, election of Democratic candidates and advocacy for specific political initiatives endorsed by the Democratic Party.
North River Democrats work collaboratively with the Manatee Democratic Party, local caucuses, and other area clubs to build a broader coalition of Democratic action in Manatee County and the Central West Coast Florida area.

All are welcome at any of our meetings and special events. We typically hold monthly meetings at 3 pm on the second Saturday of the month at the Parrish YMCA (restarting in September). Our first ever annual spring picnic at Fort Hamer Park was a great success. More events to come!

Calling for Event Ideas
Our annual spring picnic was a great success. We are now setting our sites on a signature North River Democratis fall event - possibly a fall fundraiser to be held in non-election years. Ideas have been floated for a theme party (barn dance, game night, farm to table dinner). Let your imagination go and contact John Brackett for ideas. Of course we will need lots of organizing and manpower. Let John know what you can do.
