We are looking forward to tomorrow’s Democratic Women’s Annual Membership Meeting. However, the weather forecast calls for rain and wind making an outdoor event impossible.
Due to the rain forecast, the Annual Membership Meeting will be moved indoors at the Santa Barbara Club (same venue). The Santa Barbara Club is graciously accommodating many last minute changes. Please know that seating will be limited due to the change in space and some guests may be asked to stand.
Additionally there is now a VIRTUAL OPTION. Council-member Oscar Gutierrez will be streaming the event for anyone who is unable to attend in person. Join the Virtual event via Zoom using the link below:

Meeting ID: 871 5845 0541

Virtual program will start at 2:45pm.
For those attending in person, we ask that members of our community who are not feeling well to please stay home. Face masks are encouraged.
We look forward to a wonderful event. Thank you.
