Dinner Meeting February 6, 2024

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 6, 2024.

The topic for the meeting is, “Let’s Get Ready to Vote!” Our speakers will be Dee Barnes and Patty Cappelutti.

Dee Barnes was raised in the Valley and has lived in Fresno since 1977.  She has worked in the business office at the Fresno Police Department for the past 25 years.  Dee has been a registered voter since 1973, but started becoming very active in local politics while serving as the President of the Fresno City Employees Association. She also serves as Secretary of the Coalition of Organized Labor and belongs to numerous political clubs and groups. She was one of the leaders of the “No on Measure G” campaign to stop the privatization of residential trash service. Dee is an active member of the Fresno County Democratic Central Committee and is currently Chair of their Candidate Recruitment and Development Committee. 

Patty Cappelluti will explain that “postcarding” is a fun and effective way to encourage people to vote. Our handwritten and colorful cards invite people to read our message regarding the importance of voting. We will be targeting people who only vote sometimes and encouraging them to not sit out this next very important election.
