Lake of the Woods Democratic Club

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.

The Lake of the Woods Democratic Club will hold its annual Christmas luncheon at noon on Dec. 2 at the Bonefish Grille restaurant in Central Park.

The cost is $30 per person, including tax and gratuity. Checks should be in by November 25 made out to Anne Boyd and mailed or dropped off at her house at 710 Gold Valley Road. Her telephone number is 972-0674. The checks may also be collected by Chris Carr at the Nov. 20 meeting.

Participants will have a choice of oak grilled salmon, chicken marsala or Maryland crab cakes. The choice of entree need not be made until the day of the luncheon.

New officers for next year will be introduced at this meeting.
