Gratitude to Members & Sponsors

On Sunday December 14, WDC held its holiday party at the beautiful and historic venue of Sandy Spring Museum. The weather was frigid, windy, and icy; the team of Events organizers was nervous about turnout. Those nerves vanished when a capacity crowd of hardy Democrats showed up to hear from four stellar elected leaders who wowed the room: Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Congressman Jamie Raskin, Delegate Jheanelle Wilkins and Delegate Ashanti Martinez. 

WDC marked the season of giving by presenting a $1,000 donation check to Congressman Raskin for Tommy’s Pantry, in honor of his late son Tommy Raskin, whose life exemplified a commitment to human dignity and taking care of others.

Thanks to the efforts of Membership Chair Enid Light, creative door prizes brought an element of extra fun to the party. Some winners went home with original artworks donated by WDC member artists: Helen Wood, Alison Whyte, Denise Juliano-Bult, Carolyn Avery and Teresa Jade. 

To close out this message, I want to express gratitude to all who made donations to WDC with special recognition for our generous event sponsors as listed below.
