First I would like to thank Howard County Executive Ken Ulman for speaking to our group last week! Mr. Ulman addressed over 60 CDC members and Columbia residents, speaking to many of the critical and timely issues facing Howard County.

Our April program will feature Howard County Councilmembers Courtney Watson, Jen Terrasa, Mary Kay Sigaty, and Calvin Ball. Out of respect for those celebrating Passover and those on
Spring Break, our regularly scheduled CDC meeting will be moved to Wednesday, April 22. It will begin at 7pm at the Jeffers Hill Neighborhood Center, 6030 Tamar Drive.

As an additional reminder, we are in the midst of our 2009 membership drive so please remember that you must send in your dues prior to April 14 if you want to vote for our next CDC Board during our May 13 membership meeting. Membership is only $30 for the first family
member and $15 for each additional family member. Seniors (age 65 and older), students and community members with disabilities can join for $15 per person. Please make your check or money order payable to CDC and return it to:

Columbia Democratic Club
P.O. Box 6361
Columbia, MD 21045

Thank you for your support of the Columbia Democratic Club and I look forward to seeing you on the 22nd!
