WQIDC members were in abundance at the home of our president Jimmy Van Bramer and Dan Hendrick for a neighborhood fundraiser for our very special Assemblymember Cathy Nolan. Councilmember Eric Gioia also dropped in to greet everyone. It was a good gathering and Cathy deserves our support.

See you in two weeks (Nov. 18th - 7 pm) at our meeting on Congestion Pricing to be held at the realty office of Dorothy Morehead, 45-18 Skillman Avenue, Sunnyside. (Remember even when we are not blogging, you can catch up on our news by reading our listserv messages.)

On Friday June 22, presidential candidate John Edwards was in New York City for his "Small Change for Big Change" national tour. West Queens Independent Democratic Club members Dan Jacoby, Joan DeCamp, Joan Pagan, and Kate Brennan were at Strata to hear his populist message. They were pleased to bump into former Ridgewood Democratic Club president Barbara Primosch, who took a picture of three of us.
