A spirited day for the young,  and the young at heart

Our monthly membership meeting Saturday at the Savannah Recreation Center featured seriousness and celebrations:

-- We heard from a serious leader of Florida young Democrats and considered our resolutions to resist the threats posed by the coming takeover of our government by Republicans.

-- We opened our hearts, minds, and pocketbooks to support local scholarships in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

-- We celebrated our many volunteers and spent time enjoying one another's company.

We move toward 2025 with hope and determination. Happy holidays!
