WA Democratic Convention 2018

1/15/2018

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
— Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King

34th District Democrats,

As we pause to reflect on the legacy of Martin Luther King, many of us are looking for ways to get involved and make a difference at this perilous point in history. As I said in my Chair's report on Wednesday, if 2017 was the year of resistance, 2018 is the year of resurgence. And that resurgence begins right here with the grassroots of the Democratic Party as we prepare for the 2018 Caucus and Convention Cycle. This is a GREAT opportunity to get involved and have an impact!

What is the Caucus and Convention Cycle?

Few short words of memory of Laura Ramsey

It breaks my heart for me not to be able to see Laura again. She was such a dear friend. She's done so much for me out of the kindness of her heart. During her last days at home, I had the opportunity to have intimate conversations with her. I spent time with her, caring for her legs.

She never complained, just took the pain and suffering she was going through with hopes and a smile. My heart went out to her. She was a very kind, compassionate, wise woman. I loved her dearly. I'm going to miss her.

Upon my arrival to A.G. in Autumn 2014 it was Laura who was one of the wonderful ladies here who helped me acclimate the FL to WA culture shock. She was always even tempered...classy...appreciative of her volunteers...patient & generous in so many ways. I will miss her teas...working on party decorations with her...and her mentoring very...very much.

Laura Ramsey was an incredible lady who will be sorely missed at Arrowhead. She was instrumental in starting the ladies teas which were a great way to spend time with people and listen to interesting speakers. I marveled at her energy when decorating for different occasions, which she certainly had a flair for. Even though she was on several committees, she also found time to call people the night before a big trip to take a head count for the following day. Lots of times she would arrange to have cold water for us in a cooler too! Always enthusiastic, she is truly someone we miss seeing around here.

Thoughts about Laura Ramsey - A Real Leader

Our community has lost a strong leader. Laura came up with ideas most of us would never imagine, and found ways for us to carry them out. The Easter Egg Hunt was one. There were numbered eggs hidden all over to be turned in for prices. She made Author’s Tea even more festive, with goodies and conversation. She had decorations for every occasion. She contributed gift items for the Raffles to encourage attendance in Social events. Laura kept track of how many people came to special dinners. She called to remind the people signed up for events where tickets had already been purchased. She also contributed her ideas and enthusiasm to outside organizations.

Yes, we will miss Laura. Her dynamic spirit will be hard to replace, if it ever can be.
