Journalist Jeff Schapiro congratulated local Democrats on their impressive victories in the the fall elections, but was careful to warn them not to get “too cocky.” Schapiro, a scholar from the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, regaled attendees at the club’s annual holiday luncheon with anecdotes about his long experience as an observer of Old Dominion politics and his expectations for the success of Abigail Spanberger as Virginia’s first woman governor. More than 80 people attended the gala event at the Old House Vineyard in Culpeper County and saw a new slate of club officers be elected for the 2026 calendar year.

Meet fellow Democrats for a drink, a meal or casual conversation at the Lake of the Woods Democratic Club’s bi-monthly Social Hour on July 11 at Clearwater Grill restaurant.

The club’s Steering Committee has designated alternative monthly meetings throughout the year for an informal evening social gathering instead of our usual formal daytime meetings. Expectations are that some folks who cannot attend daytime meetings will want to join us for some light-hearted fun.

The event will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. in the back upper dining room near the bar. The space has been reserved for club members during this time.

Because of the size of our group, the restaurant’s management has asked that we order food from a limited menu. Our choices will be these three:  cranberry pecan salad, a burger, or crispy chicken sandwich.  Sides will be fries or applesauce. 

Sure, you can discuss politics if you like, but there will be no agenda and no pressure.

More formal club meetings will continue to be held in alternative months at 1:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month at the LOW Community Center. Always check the club’s web site for up-to-date information on club meetings and activities.
