AN EVENING WITH JIMMY TINGLE

Democratic Campaign Institute, Feb. 26 & 27, Westin Hotel, Waltham
The Massachusetts Democratic Party is hosting a "Democratic Campaign Institute" the weekend of February 26th at the Westin Hotel in Waltham. An incredibly diverse array of politicos and campaign managers will be presenting in depth workshops on campaign management and grassroots organizing, among other topics. The MDP has given a special opportunity to College Students, by offering a reduced $25 registration fee, compared to the regular of $55.
This is a unique opportunity to get training from our Party's best organizers and get your foot in the door. If you have questions you should contact Gloribell Mota at gmota@massdems.org or 617-776-2676. Also check out www.massdems.org for more info.

DC Trip, March 25-28!
We will be taking our annual trip to DC from March 25th-28th. We will leave the night of the 25th and return the 28th. On the 26th, we will be visiting the Capitol, the DNC and more! And on the 27th, everyone will be free to explore DC on their own. This is a great way to meet and bond with other BU Dems members and learn more about the group as well as find out about possible internships around DC. The total cost of the trip will be $50, and we are asking you to pay a non-refundable $25 deposit to reserve your spot (which we need in order to reserve hotel rooms). We will be collecting deposits at our meeting this week and next week. If you cannot attend the meetings but would still like to go on the trip, please contact Esha (erakhit@bu.edu) or Matt Wall (mattwall@bu.edu). Also, if you would really like to attend but cannot afford to, please contact Esha or Matt and we will try to arrange something for you.

Well that's enough for now. Keep warm in this weather and be sure to bundle up on your way to the meeting tomorrow night!
