First Meeting of 2021!

California Democratic Party elections are in April and we are honored to have the following candidates as our speakers this month:

Betty Yee, Ca State Controller & Candidate for Vice President
Melahat Rafiei, Candidate for Secretary
Diana Love, Candidate for Secretary

Our community lost a very special friend and fellow activist, Zoyer Zyndel, on December 26, 2020. Zoyer was an inspirational person and a driving force among several organizations in and around Fresno. Longtime friend of Zoyer’s, Beverly Senkowski, will speak to us about him and his involvement in our community.

Executive Officers will be voted on after hearing our speakers. Voting will be conducted using the anonymous polling feature in Zoom.

Updates & Presentations:

  • Tyler Mackey will update us on the Tower Theater sale.
  • James Martinez will announce a special project to honor Zoyer Zyndel.
  • Peter Robertson will give a presentation on a new Fresno State Scholarship in memory of Zoyer Zyndel.
