"You guys host the BEST fundraisers!"

Rick Taylor and Joe Hoeffel address the crowdThat remark was made to me by MontcoDFA member and Allyson Schwartz campaign manager Neil Deegan. If you missed our fundraiser for Rick Taylor this weekend, you missed a good time and some great picnic fare.

The forty or so folks that attended were treated to Nathan's hot dogs, Jersey white corn, my mother's potato salad and a cake decorated with a photo of Rick and his family. The jam session kind of fell through, though, due to the fact that everyone seemed to be engaged in spirited conversations. We did manage to get a few folks to belt out "Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer" and "I'll Fly Away" so it wasn't a complete washout.

Thanks to everyone that attended and contributed to Rick's campaign. Together we raised over $1200. Not bad for a grassroots group where most contributions were at the $35 or $50 level.

It's certainly not too late to make a contribution to support Rick's campaign. Visit his page on ActBlue and please be generous. Or, mail your check payable to "Committee to Elect Rick Taylor" to P.O. Box 866, Ambler, PA 19002
