Guess Who's Coming To The DW Next Meeting?

Here’s something else to look forward to at our next meeting! 
 
We will have several special guests from the Democratic Women of North Carolina at our June meeting at Laura’s. (I’m sure it’s on your calendar--Saturday, the 11th, 3:00-5:30 pm.).  Joining us for a good time at the lake will be Sarah Anderson, President; Joan Dressler, Vice-President; and Pat Hawkins, Regional Director. Each of them will share some of their experiences with Democratic Women statewide, and it will be such a pleasure to welcome them to Person County. The “meeting” part of the meeting will start at 4:00 pm, so be sure to be there then. Look for directions and other details from Laura soon.
 
True blue,
Ellen

Osama Bin Laden Killed!

WOW!!

What great news from President Obama in a rather surprised speech tonight from the White House.  The president said having received word from US Intelligence that they had good evidence of where Bin Laden was he authorized them to do what was necessary to capture or kill him.  Well, with US Intelligence being "The absolute BEST" they got the job done without one single American killed.  As you could imagine Bin Laden's people tried to resist resulting in exchange of gun fire but the results show that the US forces were too much for Bin Laden and his people.

It is amazing to see Americans outside the White House celebrating the 'GOOD NEWS".  I am sure that many families who lost loved ones in the attacks at the World Trade Center, the field in Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon would be very relieved at this news as for many it brings closure to their lost.

As we all celebrate and or breed a sigh of relief at Osama Bin Laden's death let us continue to pray for our soldiers that are still fighting wars particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan.
