Rocky River Democrats April Meeting
Our next meeting will be Tuesday April 30th at the Rocky River Public Library and on Zoom, 6:30pm social time, 7:00pm meeting start
Speaker to be announced soon!! RSVP today!!
Thanks to everyone who got out and voted in the Primary!
The primary saw a GREAT turnout and all our endorsed Democratic candidates won! Congratulations to all our Democratic candidates who won their races!!
Check out the full election results HERE and we will go over more of the results at our next meeting!!
Membership Renewals!
We are currently in our membership drive for 2024! If you have not renewed your membership, see one of us at the next meeting, or you can renew online HERE
Due to the rising costs of postage, scheduling of events, and other club duties, we unfortunately have had to raise our membership rates only slightly–individual memberships have increased to $30 (from $20), and family memberships have increased to $40 (from $30)–senior and student memberships will remain the same, at $10 and $5, respectively. While we hate to have to raise rates, it will go a long way to help us stage events, including postcard parties and community gatherings, maintaining the website, room rentals, printing, and sponsoring get-out-the-vote events and yard sign drives, all of which will become INCREDIBLY important in this CRUCIAL election year!
As always, if you can add more, it will cover someone who can afford less. Everyone is welcome at the amount you are comfortable contributing.
Matt Diemer Event!
Citizens Not Politicians Event
Citizens Not Politicians needs your help! Go to Fair Districts Ohio HERE to learn more about the initiative and learn how you can help gather signatures prior to the June filing deadline!

We Need Your Help!
We are looking for a volunteer to join the Rocky River Democrats Executive Committee as the Corresponding Secretary. We are looking for some with good writing and technical skills to help with email communication and website updates. If you, or someone you know is interested, please fill out the form HERE. This is a great opportunity to put your talents to work, get more involved with the club, and help in this crucial election year!!
