Dear Friends,

Friday, September 10, is the date for Congressman Kind's 9th Annual Old-fashioned Corn Roast from 6-9 p.m. at the La Crosse County Fairgrounds, W4985 County Highway M, West Salem. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, former Governor of Iowa, will speak. Volunteers are needed from 12 noon until end of corn roast. Please call Shawn at (608)385-6488 if you can help.

Put Oct. 16 on your calendar!! It is the date for our Fall Dinner at the Concordia Ballroom. There will be door prizes, a silent auction, great food, and energizing speakers!! We hope to get as many speakers as are available. If you can contribute toward sponsoring the dinner or providing items for the silent auction, please call me at 608-781-0737. We are looking for events tickets. If you have Badger or Packer tickets, it would be great.

Volunteer to march in the Labor Day Parade. Contact information for all campaigns is under our volunteer link.

Please visit our office at 116 5th. Ave. S., La Crosse. It is humming with activity. We would appreciate an hour or two of your time each week. Go to the volunteer site on this website for information on how to help the campaigns.

The elections of 2010 are very important!! The opposition will spend millions on defeating our candidates. Although we are doing well in the fundraising, additional contributions will help us get out our message. We also need people to phone, canvas, and help with mailings. See the Volunteer site on this website.

Continue to write letters and call in to local radio stations to support President Obama, Senator Feingold, Congressman Kind and Rep. Jennifer Shilling, and Cheryl Hancock, candidate in the 94th.
