Meeting Reminder: Thursday, May 19 at 7:00 pm
Join us at 6:30 for our pre-meeting social with snacks and soft drinks.
Pinellas Democratic Party Headquarters — 2250 First Avenue North in St. Petersburg.
Three Great Guest Speakers You Won’t Want to Miss
At our meeting this Thursday, we have a great line-up of speakers who you will definitely want to hear!  
 
St. Petersburg City Councilmember Wengay (“Newt”) Newton will join us to talk about his four years of service on the council and his reelection campaign. The Stonewall Democrats played a big role in helping elect  Newt — who we view as fair-minded (as opposed to his 2007 opponent, Gershom Faulkner, who to us he did not support our “choice of lifestyle.”)
 
Joe Morgan, a member of the Service Employee International Union (SEIU) and a Pinellas County school bus driver will speak to us about the ongoing situation of student bullying in the county. We will be discussing what we can do to help reduce this problem for LGBT students.
 
Sally Phillips, President of the Florida GLBT Democratic Caucus (and President of the Hillsborough GLBTA Democratic Caucus), will come by to let us know what the state caucus is doing and to tell us about the upcoming conference in Key West (July 8-10).
During our meeting, we will also discuss our exciting plans for this year’s St. Pete Pride (June 25). This is our biggest event of the year and we will need lots of help to make it a success. Let us know if you want to walk in the parade and/or help at our booth by contacting us at info@stonewallpinellas.org.   

Congratulations to St. Petersburg City Councilmember Steve Kornell for being the first candidate to qualify by petition for the 2011 municipal election this fall. Our thanks to the members of the StDemocrats who pitchedn to help collect signatures!

Reception Honoring Rep. Kathy Castor
You are invited to a reception honoring U.S. Representative Kathy Castor (FL-11).
 
Since before she was elected to Congress in 2007, Rep. Castor has been a strong advocate on LGBT issues. As a Hillsborough County Commissioner, she voted against the county’s ban on Gay Pride. In Congress she has supported legislation to prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity and expression, and to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. She is also a member of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus. 
 
Please show your support Congresswoman Castor by attending this reception at the beautiful home of David Warner & Larry Biddle in historic Roser Park.  
 
To RSVP, contact Kevin at 813-454-9080 or kevin@castorforcongress.com. Suggested donation: Friend: $25; Supporter: $50; Host: $100; Chair: $250. If you are unable to attend, contributions  may be made online at CastorforCongress.com.
