Here's the text of an e-mail we received from the Barack Obama Democratic Club of Upper Manhattan :
Dear Friend,
We are pleased to invite you to the first-annual spring fundraiser of the Barack Obama Democratic Club of Upper Manhattan , New York City's newest local Democratic group. We are a progressive club serving the 71st Assembly District, Part A, which covers portions of Washington Heights and West Harlem.
Since its launch just a few months ago, the Obama club is already serving to energize residents from all over our community who have never before been involved in local politics. We are proud to be building a membership which is diverse in every way, united around the goal of supporting and electing progressive, activist Democrats.
On Sunday, May 3rd, we are excited to host our first fundraiser at El Presidente Restaurant, 3938 Broadway (@165th St.), from 3:00pm to 5:00pm.
The year ahead promises to be a remarkable one for local Democrats, and the Obama club will no doubt have an important role to play in this fall's many exciting elections. Your support of our fundraiser will help assure that our club, and our party, are successful at this critical time.
We hope that you will sign-on now as a supporter of this event, so that we may list you on our official invite. Contribution levels are as follows:
$300.00 Patron
$150.00 Sponsor
$125.00 Guest (not listed on invite)
