and exasperations about political happenings. The opinions and views are not necessarily
those of PDH's steering committee or membership as a whole.

Next general meeting: July 10, 2008
normally the first Thursday of every month, moving to the 2nd Thurs in July to minimize potential conflicts with the 4th.

Time: 6:30pm — feel free to come early to chat and bring a pupu to share
Place: Democratic Party Headquarters
1050 Ala Moana Blvd., Suite D-26
The new Democratic Party HQ is in the Ward Warehouse, above the Nohea Gallery and next to Congressman Abercrombie’s office.
