Celebration of Change


It was frankly classy and fun. The Quail Room at the Partridge Berry was filled with some very happy democrats last evening as the Jefferson County Party celebrated both change and the holiday season. Many new faces were mixed in with our large family of regulars. Change really is coming. A new brand new administration in Washington is dedicated to addressing our national problems, a brand new Assemblywoman in the 118th, Addie Russell, is totally dedicated to her task bringing intelligence and enthusiasm and the first democrat full termer in the NYS Senate's 48th District, Darrel Aubertine, will mean we'll have one of us looking out for us. Jane Jenkins demonstrated her prodigious talent for decorating and Barb Hoops was at the keyboard. The cuisine was top notch too


The MC for the evening was Chairman Sean Hennessey (seen in the picture with long time committee person Leona Cheresnowski.) Both Addie and Darrel thanked the party for their support and mutually pledged to bring all their talents to their jobs for all the people of the region. It looked to this observer as though everyone had a fine time. Incidentally there were six present and former chairmen of the JCDC at the gathering and all of them enjoyed each other with absolutely no ego bruises. That frankly is unique in any political group and is a tribute to the cohesiveness of the organization.
