Designer Masks Fundraiser in Edgewater | Food for Greater Elgin

April 21, 2020

Face Masks Edgewater Fundraiser Food for Greater Elgin

At Edgewater we have a group that I call The “Sewing Ladies” that are making masks.

We are selling them with ALL PROCEEDS going to Food for Greater Elgin. To date – we have sold over 750 masks & donated over $7,000 to Food for Greater Elgin!!!

The “Sewing Ladies”  are making them from whatever materials they have available (see photo above for some examples). So we refer to them as DESIGNER MASKS!!

We have now handled the demand at Edgewater – BUT – FFGE still needs money.

So if you – or any of your friends – want some DESIGNER MASKS – we’re taking orders. Minimum donation is $5/mask – there is no maximum!!!

Contact Vern Tepe with your details.

Planting Seeds for a Better Kane County | Cherryl Strathmann

April 20, 2020

Cherryl Strathmann planting seeds kane county

Cherryl Strathmann needs your help. She purchased seed packets to give out while canvasing to promote her campaign for Kane County Board District 20…but that can’t happen until after the ‘stay at home’ order is lifted. She is looking for good homes that want seed in Elgin, IL.

We’ll let Cherryl explain it in her own words.

So… I thought I would be out knocking on doors and passing out seed packets, asking for you to vote for me for Kane County Board in the November election. Going door to door is on hold for right now as we shelter in place. But ! It’s Spring and planting time, and I have seeds. I want to get them out to folks who want some. I have limited varieties, but I’ll share whatever I can. Please send me a PM on Cherryl Strathmann for Kane County Board Facebook page. Let me know what  seeds you are interested in, and if I have them, they are yours! We will set up a delivery date, and get them to you.

Never gardened before? Don’t have a garden plot? I am a Master Gardner through University of Illinois Extension. I can help you with some simple solutions. If you have a flower pot, there are things you can grow to provide fresh food for your family.

So help me out, please. Let me share an abundance of seeds with you. We are in this together, and together we can be planting seeds for a better Kane County.

ETD Monthly Meeting April 21, 2020

April 18, 2020

ETD Zoom Meeting

Due to the ‘Stay at Home’ order that is in effect in Illinois, we will hold our monthly meeting virtually. We thank everyone for your flexibility as we continue to find ways to adapt to the current situation.

It is important for the Elgin Township Democrats to stay connected during this strange time.

We will be holding a Zoom meeting this Tuesday at 7pm. All Elected and Appointed Precinct Committee People are encouraged to attend. (an invitation has been emailed to you.)

If there are other people who would like to attend the meeting, we can share this invitation. The current online meetings are limited to 100 people, so PCs will be given preference on attending. Please contact Carl Strathmann or Mike Rende if you would like to get access to the meeting.

If you’d like to see the agenda, it can be downloaded here.

We look forward to ‘seeing’ you on Tuesday!
