Our 14th Annual Dinner and Auction on June 7, 2013 was not only a good time but a successful fundraiser. Every year the S.F. District 11 Democratic Club raises funds to conduct the operations of the club. We use most of the funds during general election years to cover the cost of voter information events and slate cards. We also support a Civics Scholarship at the Boys and Girls Club. We made enough to also host membership meetings on issues facing D11 residents and to outreach at D11 events such as the Mission Terrace 4th of July Party and the Excelsior Street Festival in October.
