Lisle Township Democratic Organization

I hate throwing things away, not so much because I cling to things, but because I cringe at wasting anything. I was compiling a list of local resources for myself when I discovered that SCARCE already has most of what I was looking for. Highly recommended!

Apart from the many things they themselves accept, they have a comprehensive reference page for other resources, including special recycling events and specialty drop-off resources.

The 2022 election cycle was delayed by the state legislature due to Trump delaying the census. The new primary will be on June 28, 2022.  Petitions will be from January 13-March 14 with lower numbers of signatures required than in previous years.

The most immediate consequence is that the “Campaign Bootcamp” previously announced here has been postponed until August 31st. More details will be provided here as soon as the rest of the new schedule is worked out.

It’s really awkward to expect new candidates to start 7 months before petitions but if anyone is interested in getting involved this summer there will be plenty of opportunities. Thanks for your patience!

Our next general Membership Meeting will be held Monday, June 14th at 7:30 PM. The featured topic will be mental health resources in DuPage County.

We’re also looking for in-person space for our July meeting. Any ideas? Contact news@ltdo.org.

It’s time to celebrate all of those birthdays we’ve missed in quarantine!  LTDO is hosting a birthday bash and we’d like all of you to join us. The party is Sunday, June 27th from 2 pm to 5 pm at Castaldo Park in Woodridge (3024 71st St).

Please sign up now (you can adjust your choices later) for this free event at https://go.LTDO.org/signup-6-27-21. (You might need to click the link again after you sign in.) The form has additional details; please consider volunteering to bring things on the form’s “wish list”.

Due to Covid restrictions, we are limited to 50 people at a time, so you must choose one of the early or late slots on the form. (If restrictions change, we’ll increase the limit.) Masks and 6 foot distancing will be observed.

We’ll provide veggie burgers, kosher hot dogs, buns, chips, and dessert. Hand sanitizer and wipes will also be available. We have a liquor permit, so you may BYOB. You may also want to bring a comfortable lawn chair and a beverage. If you are kind enough to bring additional goodies, they must be individually wrapped.

We look forward to seeing you!
