MGO Needs You to Take Part in Revitalizing Our Club

Posted on Updated on

Our club has a long and illustrious history with many accomplishments.   However, in the last few years we have faced falling attendance at meetings and  a drop in membership.  We need a new direction, one suitable for our current times.

Recently many of you filled out a survey on the club.  Please attend onWednesday to further look into our options to change the club with changing times, to explore what the survey told us, and to help make some important decisions where the club must move.

MGO is your club.  If you care about MGO and its continued existence, please join us.

Wednesday, July 25th, 7:30 P.M.

Dimond Library

3565 Fruitvale Ave.

Oakland, CA

Join MGO Members and Friends

For an evening of

Fun, Schmoozing and Gossip

At the lovely

Lake Merritt Hotel,

1800 Madison St.

At 18th St.

Just off the Lake.

7 to 9 p.m.

Monday, June 25th, 2012

We’ll have food, a no-host bar, and time to distill our collective wisdom about the primary election just finished, the November races to come and where that leaves the liberal Democrats of Oakland and the East Bay.

Several Councilmembers and candidates will be there, so you can get their ears if you’re quick!

Come for conversations you just don’t want to miss in a place with a beautiful view of the Lake, and a vintage Oakland elegance.

Be there!

  • Elizabeth Echols
  • Beverly Green

For the 18th AD Central Committee, because of problems with the ballot, we will re-vote on the endorsements by mail. Those members who are currently paid in full, will receive ballots and instructions with their Platform newsletter, along with a stamped return envelope. We apologize to all for the problems with the ballot, but we believe that this measure is the fairest way to determine our endorsements for the office.

Further, we will take the opportunity with the mail-in ballot to vote on endorsements for Assembly, State Senator, and other offices.
