June 2, Rapid City School Board Election

Be sure and vote before or on June 2 in the school board election!
Although this election is non-partisan election, many PenDems
have been active in bringing school issues to the forefront.
Eric Abrahamson, along with other interested folks, have
been keeping the dialog going by encouraging discussion and
public participation from his great nonpartisan website:
http://ourrapidcityschools.org -- check it out!
At that site you can learn about the issues and the candidates.
Also, two PenDems, Suzan Nolan and Curt Pochardt, are
candidates in two of the races. Vote!

Celebrating our new and former State Executive Directors
and President of the South Dakota Young Democrats


The gifts, inspiration, and legendary work of our own Erin McCarrick
and Kristin Aschenbrenner are becoming more well-known outside
the halls and glens of PennDemdom!  Erin has been selected
as our new State Party Executive Director, following the very successful
tenure of Rick HauffeKristin Aschenbrenner has been elected founding chair
of the South Dakota Young Democrats. (We will miss Erin from our eboard,
but it's a small big state so we are thrilled to be able to benefit from her
talents in her new post.)

Come to McGovern Day and give them all a rouse!
