Great! I'm on it today.Cynthia DRAFT Carol: Here's my draft for our letter to Kirsten. Please review, edit, chop, etc. I'd like to finalize it this weekend so we email it to Kirsten Sunday night. . . . .before the beginning of the week sets in. cc: Emily and Stefanie Hello, Kirsten ~ I hope all's well with you, even throughout this tumultuous political landscape ~ Carol Pensky and I both send you warm personal wishes with this email. Carol and I spoke with the DNC this week concerning ideas for WLF's presence at the July Convention. We all agreed how important it is that WLF ( DWA ??) and OTS are highlighted there, though not thru a fundraising event. If your plans are still open, we would like to propose holding a joint event with OTS and WLF, a festive reception to be underwritten by a woman's magazine or other sponsor, Tuesday afternoon, July 26th, 2:00-4:00PM. We would focus on you as the special star attraction of the event. The idea made great sense to us since you are the member of Congress who has done the absolute most for Democratic women candidates the past several cycles. The event would give you a platform to highlight your efforts, as well as include a WLF message pointing out the importance of women's involvement in the election processes, and serving as the Women's Host for the DNC. FYI, two organizations, Emerge and EMILY'S List will hold gatherings that week, Emerge on Tuesday 4-7PM, and EMILY's List on Wednesday, 3-5 PM. Please note that we have both taken a "special friend" advantage by contacting you directly (indeed, you are a special friend) and it will be followed up by the official DNC Chair's invitation after our informal exploration of the idea. We hope this plan holds a mgreat appeal to you, as well, and we look forward to hearing from you. With best wishes, Cynthia and Carol
