This picnic is the primary occasion for the PDC to raise money to support Democratic candidates in challenging races throughout California and the United States.  Last year we raised almost $30,000 which was distributed thoughtfully and carefully to Democrats and most of them won their races.  Although this is not an election year, next year will be and we would like to get the ball rolling to raise more than ever before this year and next to donate to as many Democratic races as possible.  We on the PDC Board hope that you will be as generous as you can this year and we hope to see you IN PERSON at our picnic.
