Online Registration Closing Soon

I’m emailing to let you know that pre-registration for the KYD Convention will close after tomorrow, Wednesday, February 27. You can register now for $25 by going to http://www.actblue.com/page/kyd2013? You can register at the door on the morning of the convention, Saturday, March 2, for $30.

We are excited to host you in Lexington, Kentucky. Just this week, young Democrat Representative John Tilley confirmed he’ll be speaking at our convention as well as Governor Julian Carroll, in addition to the great speakers we’ve already announced. We have a record number of registrants, and we hope you will join us and be a part of Kentucky Young Democrats bringing the party back to the Democratic Party.

We are also excited for the KYDs to play a role in the communities we are in, and this convention is no different. This year at KYD Convention, we will collect books for children 12 and under for a program called Once Upon a Time, which works to promote childhood literacy in Lexington, KY. KYD chapters will be competing to see which one brings the most books, so encourage your members to bring books to donate!

The Fayette County Young Democrats look forward to seeing you at the Lexington Hilton on Saturday. Remember, you can register at http://www.actblue.com/page/kyd2013

Thank you,
Andrea Ewen
