Happy New Year from the
RIYD Executive Board!

Dear RI Young Democrat,

Looking back, the Rhode Island Young Democrats (RIYD) have enjoyed a productive 2009. At the beginning of the year, RIYD set goals to improve the infrastructure of the organization and provide greater access to lawmakers. The organization did this – and more!

RIYD attracted new members, created opportunities for young Democrats to interact with lawmakers, and asked voters what is important to them. All of these activities will serve to mobilize young Democrats as we approach the 2010 election, which by all accounts will impact the future of our state.

Our work is far from complete and we need your help in 2010. We hope that you will stay involved with the Rhode Island Young Democrats, join the discussion at one of our events, and consider donating to our state political action committee. It is important that we not lose momentum as we head into a decisive election year. Today, young people stand strong and united as an integral part of establishing and maintaining a Democratic majority in our great state.

Thank you for your continued dedication and support of this organization, but more importantly to the Democratic Party.

Best Regards,

Meghan Grady
President
