July 4 Bash Slideshow

Keep the red-white-and-blue flying after the Fourth of July by attending The Lake of the Woods Democratic Club’s annual Independence Day Bash.

The event will take place from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 11 at the air-conditioned comfort of the LOW Community Center. There will be catered fried chicken and homemade side dishes, desserts and beverages provided by club members.

Door prizes and a Blue Donkey raffle will give attendees the opportunity to go home with something more than full tummies and smiles on their faces. The “Demettes,” will perform some of their traditional political satire for your entertainment.

Tickets are $7 per person and are available at the door. Youngsters under the age of 12 will be admitted without charge. Everyone is welcome, without regard to political affiliation.

Club member Lalli Omar gave an interesting and informative presentation at the club’s Jan. 15 meeting on the accomplishments of the Obama presidency (so far).

• The stock market has gained almost 10,000 points.
• Unemployment has dropped to near-normal levels.
• The nation’s economic growth has gone from minus 5.4 percent to plus 3.5 percent.
• And the deficit has been cut by two-thirds.

That’s quite a record for a president who has had little or no help (and, in fact, open hostility) from the opposition party.
