Lastly, the October 2023 Democratic Women’s luncheon was held on Oct 12th, 2023.

The guest speaker was Patti Hewitt, chair for the Bryan County Dems who has filed to run in the primaries for Congress as the Democratic nominee from the 1st Congressional District. Ms. Hewitt moved to Ga in 2015. She is retired from a successful career in financial services for several major companies. Patti has served her community on the Liberty County Board of Tax Assessors, the executive board of the Coastal Chamber of Commerce and is Treasurer of the Democratic Party of Georgia’s Rural Caucus. She’s an engaging candidate and ready to represent her constituents in Washington and fight for our rights.

The annual Glynn Dems fundraiser at Mary Ross Waterfront Park this year was a resounding success thanks to all our speakers, attendees and volunteers. As this is an off-election year we only had a few candidate tables, Gwen Williams (City of Brunswick, North Ward) and Patti Hewitt Candidate for 1st Congressional District.

Food by Smoke Kings BBQ and “A Moveable Feast”. Beverages by Silver Bluff Brewing Company.

It’s going to be a real picnic, so don’t forget your blankets and/or chairs. Limited table seating will be available for guests who require such accommodations.

Fellow Dems, it is time once again for our yearly fund raiser and this one is expected to be great.  Our keynote speaker is Stacey Abrams, if you’ve never heard her speak, or even if you have, she is quite informative.  We have cut back on speakers and will be providing live music for your listening and dancing pleasure while you enjoy a delicious meal.  The event is what keeps the office open.  This year is the calm before the storm.  In 2024 we will once again be in not only a fight for president but for democracy as we know it.  Just look at the Republican candidates.  Please, buy your tickets.  If you can not attend, please consider donating your ticket to someone who would like to attend but doesn’t have the means or just donate to the cause.  We are counting on you.  Let’s keep Ga blue.

The Glynn Dems Women’s Luncheon at the First United Methodist Church this past August 10th was a rousing success, with over 100 people attending to hear AJC Lead political reporter Greg Bluestein give a talk and present his views on Georgia politics.

The event was even covered by the Brunswick News.
