The Ward 6 Democrats biennial convention and officer elections will take place Saturday, June 17, at Mr. Henry's, 601 Pennsylvania Avenue SE.
Weather permitting, we will be in their rear parking lot. We will have tents, so we'll have some sun protection, but come prepared for heat if we're able to be outdoors and with a mask in case rain moves us inside.
We'll start at 10:00 a.m. with a welcome from our president, Chuck Burger, followed by a special guest speaker, and then the actual election.
You can let us know you're coming at https://www.mobilize.us/ward6demsdc/event/394731/.

Can you come a little early to help us set up or stay until the end of the ballot counting to help us tear down? Contact our Rules committee chair Ethan Van Ness at ethan.vanness@gmail.com.
Thanks to Mr. Henry's for their ongoing support of our organization and for hosting us for this important event. They'll be starting to serve brunch at 10:30 a.m., so bring your appetite and your wallet, so we can return the favor.
(You may have noticed that our bylaws require us to hold the convention in June. Earlier this spring, our officers voted to temporarily suspend that provision because of the complexity of scheduling elections during a pandemic.)
