Upcoming events and other stuff

Sources: various candidate websites, the Maricopa Dem website and the AZ Dem Party website.

For the most part. :)

...Tomorrow, September 21 - there will be a forum to showcase the November ballot questions.

"Propositioning Arizona: A Review of the 19 Ballot Measures for 2006" will be held in the auditorium of the Mustang Library in Scottsdale at 6:15. The host is Margaret Hogan.

The library is located on the east side of 90th St., just south of Shea Blvd.

...Friday, September 22 - The Governor will be visiting Sun City with a number of other Democratic candidates, including Jim Pederson (Senate), AZ Attorney General Terry Goddard, Rano Singh (AZ Treasurer), Israel Torres (AZ Secretary of State), Ric Boyer and Mark Manoil (AZ Corporation Commission), and a number of LD4 and LD9 candidates.

The event will be hosted by Debra Boehlke and held at Palm Ridge Recreation Center, 13800 W Deer Valley Dr., Sun City West.

For additional information contact Tony Anderson, President of the SC Grand Democrats at 623-544-8672.

[It's not a CD5/LD17 event, but it looks like it will be a lot of fun for those who can attend. Unfortunately, I have to work. I hope that someone can attend and write it up for the blogosphere.]

...October 3 - "Join the MCDP on October 3, 2006 as it welcomes and celebrates Governor Janet Napolitano with an entertaining evening of dinner and roast of our state's chief executive. The event begins at 5:30PM and will be held at the Carpenter's Union Hall, 4547 West McDowell Rd, Phoenix, AZ.

Special Event: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. With that in mind, we invite you to participate in a Janet Look-Alike contest.

Call 602.298.0503 to sign up."

[In an attempt to bring an air of bipartisanship to the proceedings, I hereby offer to pay for his ticket ($30) to attend if Len Munsil will wear a dress and enter the contest. Call it my response to his 'blog-off challenge.' Since I cannot attend due to the D17 Dems meeting that night, all I ask for are pictures.

Lots of pictures. :)) ]

I wouldn't normally post info about a Republican Party event, but since I'm in such a bipartisan mood, an exception is in order.

Showing that the Parties have something in common, the GOP has its own roast event scheduled for Thursday, October 5th.

...From the AZGOP website:

They guest of honor: outgoing Senate President Ken Bennett.

It will be held at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort and tickets start at $250 per person.

[Wonder if they will have any victims' rights advocates, particularly for the victims of sexual assault, on the guest list? Probably not, if Sen. Bennett's son is going to be there.]

...Lastly (for now), don't forget the D17 Dems meeting on October 3rd at the Pyle Center in Tempe. Information exchange at 6:30, meeting starts at 7.

More later!
