Dear Lisle Township Democratic Organization,

Some people have been thanking me for what I’ve done as LTDO Chair. The person you should be thanking is my Wife, Eva, for letting me run and serve as your LTDO Chair. As I see it, it’s actually I who owe a whole lot of people a big thank you for helping to make this past term what I think was a pretty good one.

My deepest thanks go to all LTDO Members, current and former, for putting your faith in me two years ago and for supporting LTDO financially and as volunteers. You started this ball rolling and we depend on and appreciate your support.

Thank you, LTDO PCs; you are the heart and soul of the Organization and have given so much of yourselves for the voters in your precincts and the Township, as well as the Party. Your work has been critical to moving LTDO and the Township in a stronger Democratic direction.

Thanks to all who served on the Executive Committee; Diane, Robert, Claire, before Claire Elaine Rockney, and Theresa Sullivan; you have been instrumental in our successes.

Thanks to our LTDO Delegation that represented us on the DPDC Executive Committee; Mary Jo Mullen, Paula Garcia, Arlene Kendorski, Joe Heneghan, Claire Goldenberg, Barb O’meara, Sandy Pattison, and Paul Sjordal.

Thank you to our Team Coordinators, current and former, and so many other LTDO volunteers who have done so much for us; including Peggy Nasti, Sue Quigley, Paul Adams, Joe Henneghan, Holly Hootman, Bette Owen, Mark Spieglan, Louise Goodman, Julie Ryan, Stephanie Snowdon, Chris Patterson, Theresa Sullivan, Nancy Staszak, Cathy Corl, Lynn Trevathian, Susan Francis, Steve Brugge, Dave Reynolds, and so many others who I haven’t named but who contributed in multitudes of ways. You know who you are and we thank you too.

Thanks also to every person who had the courage to file as a candidate and run in a primary or election — at any level. You are integral to the success of the organization on multiple levels. We would be a hollow club without your civic and political engagement and we all owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

Thanks to the Democratic voters of Lisle Township; just like the candidates, without your participation we would have no reason to exist.

I would be remiss not to say thank you to the DPDC for their support under both Bob Peickert and Cynthia Borbas, along with the other Township as well. We can, I believe, make our local parties the dominant political forces in the County.

Finally a big thanks to the New Administration for taking the reins from our Administration. You face new and difficult challenges, ones that I know you have the courage to rise up to. I have no intentions of going anywhere and fully intend to work together with Diane and all of you to help with those challenges, to make the Organization better than ever and the Township bluer than ever.

Your Former Chair,
Gerry
