Elgin’s Fourth of July Parade 2022

Join the Elgin Township Democrats in Elgin’s Fourth of July Parade!

The parade steps off Monday, July 4th at 9am at Slade and Douglas Avenue. Please join the Elgin Dems float by 8:30am.

The Elgin Dems will be staged on Grove Avenue at GROVE A. This should be the section of Grove Ave between Slade and Lincoln. (You can ask a gate captain at N Grove Ave and Ann St for directions to GROVE A if you need them.)

Dress for the weather and wear an Elgin / Kane County Democrats or candidate shirt if you have one. Signs are encouraged as well.

(Do you have a friend who feels they need to march too? Invite them along to meet with like minded people. The camaraderie and conversation with others who try to make a positive difference can help.)

Petition Signing Drive-Thru

Petition Signing Drive-Thru Open

While we’re all focused on the upcoming General Election, we also need to help out our Democratic Candidates who are stepping up to run in the April 2021 local elections.

A petition drive-thru is a safe way for us to help them get the signatures they need during the pandemic.

When

Thursday, September 24, 6:00-7:00 p.m.
Sunday, September 27, 4:00-5:00 p.m.

Where

210 Wing Park Blvd
Elgin, IL 60123

Wear your mask, bring a pen (blue or black ink) and sanitizer. Invite any willing family members and friends to join you. Park in front of 210 Wing Park Blvd, and stay in your car. A circulator will bring a clipboard with all the petitions attached. Sign all the petitions. Spritz a little sanitizer on your hands, and have a pleasant rest of the day knowing you helped a candidate.

Do you need yard signs?

We will also have yard signs for the General Election on hand. Pick up some for yourself, your friends and your neighbors. Let’s make sure everyone sees overwhelming support for all of our Democratic Candidates!

ETD Monthly Meeting April 21, 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!
