T-Shirts and Speaker TONIGHT!

Hey friends!

Tonight is a big night! Be there at 9 pm in Squires Brush Mountain A.

1) Our T-SHIRTS ARE HERE! Hurrah! Bring your money if you ordered one or would like to buy one now! Those who ordered them in advance get first dibs. $10 if you paid dues, $12 if you did not.

2) Planning for the big COAL DEBATE is progressing. We will divide up into committees tonight: invitations, publicity, and questions. Help plan this historic event!

3) Don’t miss tonight’s speaker: Dr. Polanah! This fantastic, intriguing professor will be discussing Africa and its relations with the west.

Dr. Polanah, assistant professor in the Africana Studies department will be joining the Young Democrats this Tuesday, February 9th for a thought-provoking analysis and discussion of delinking theory (the complete separation of Africa from the west).  An award winning professor renowned for his unconventional teaching methods, Polanah challenges every student to question western paradigms of power and dominance.  His perspectives and charismatic personality make his classes some of the most requested courses at Virginia Tech.  Polanah currently teaches Introduction to African Studies and Black Religions.

See you tonight!

State of the Union TONIGHT!

Join us TONIGHT for Obama’s State of the Union address! Come to Bryce
Carter’s house for a SOTU watching party. It starts at 9 pm so come
anytime after 8:30. Bryce lives in those apartments on North Main
across from the YMCA thrift store. His address is 1205 North Main St,
Apt. E. Check out his “super awesome” map (attached) for directions.

Take the North Main bus route and get off just after Broce Drive (or
just after if you’re on Southbound).

If you support the health care reform, call Rick Boucher and tell
him! The Congressional switchboard is (202) 224-3121. Calls are a
thousand times more valuable than email.

Get psyched for the Young Democrats’ COAL DEBATE! It’s going to be a
showdown you don’t want to miss. Preparations are underway for the
March 2 event in Squires Colonial.

JOIN OUR RELAY FOR LIFE TEAM! Donate to a good cause and get a night
of fun activities and powerful reflection, all for just $10!: http://
main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=team&fr_id=24348&team_id=587533

T-shirts will be at the next meeting! Bring your money: $10 for dues-
paying members ($5/semester, $8/year) and $12 for non-dues-paying
members. Emily is now accepting dues for this semester.

And finally, if you would like to be a YDVT officer, we have two
positions available: SGA representative and LGBT chair. Both are
commitments and require you to attend all regular meetings, but not
all planning meetings (Mondays @ 8:30, Squires 234).
- SGA rep will need to attend SGA meetings at 5:30 on Tuesdays and
represent YDVT’s interests and report back to the club on what’s
happening.
- LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) chair will need to
follow the LGBTA and current events pertaining to the LGBT community
and keep the club informed. Email me if you are interested in either
position or if you have any questions! Elections will be at this
Monday’s planning meeting.

See you tonight! Dems love,

Kathleen Newbould
