 From the Chairman
On behalf of the entire Jackson County Democratic Committee, welcome to our annual
Truman Days celebration in recognition of President Harry Truman. This is one of the largest
gatherings of Democrats in our great state of Missouri and this is truly a jubilant year with sev-
eral offices held by our fellow Democrats.
As you can see this evening that many tables are filled with
our loyal friends in labor and we look forward to continuing those
great friendships. I would like to extend a special honor to our pre-
senting sponsor for these evenings events; the International Broth-
erhood of Electrical Workers Unions. Working people through the
leadership of organized labor have remained the backbone of the
Democratic Party.
Our Truman Days events are representative of the efforts of
many committee people; I hope you will join me in thanking our
Chairman
co-chairs: Susan Dougherty (breakfast), Sandy Querry (banquet),
Stephen R Bough
Cathy Spainhower (registration) and Vicki Tarpley (event booklet).
Including several that made up the Truman Days Event committee: Executive Director, Jessica
Podhola, Bonnaye Mims, Dutch Newman, Sandy Hartwell, Alfred Jordan, DeAun Young, Judy
Briggs, Alta Stephens, Judy Morgan, Chere Chaney, Elmer Taylor, Roosevelt Sculark and Tom
Wyrsch.
Finally, we would like a special thank you to go to Congressman Emanuel Cleaver and
DNC Member Sandy Querry for assisting the committee in getting such a terrific keynote
speaker for tonight, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, 20th District of Florida.
Thank you for sharing your evening with us and for your support of our Jackson County De-
mocratic Committee.
Have a great weekend!
