By Rich Dunn — Barbara Twitchell, Chair of the South Washoe DEMS, an affiliate of the Washoe County Democratic Party, will be the featured speaker at Monday’s Democratic luncheon.
Formed in 2011, the group’s mission is to advance the goals of the Democratic Party of Washoe County within areas in the south of the county. They meet on the first Monday of the month at the South Valleys Library.
“Born and bred in the briar patch, that’s me!” With apologies to Br’er Rabbit, Barbara Twitchell says that statement aptly sums up the first 25 years of her life in Brooklyn, New York, which she credits for giving her fortitude, moxie and quirky sense of humor.
Mother of three, doting grandma of three, retired Truckee Meadows Community College counselor and administrator, award winning magazine writer and dedicated social justice advocate, Barbara has resided in Pleasant Valley, north of Carson, for almost 40 years. She is currently serving her seventh term as the chairperson of the dynamic Democratic affiliate, the South Washoe DEMS.
“These are extraordinary and challenging times,” Twitchell says. “Everything Everywhere All at Once seems to be an appropriate description of the last few weeks. It can be pretty overwhelming. How we choose to deal with it will make all the difference for ourselves and our community.”
Barbara will combine her counseling skills and political leadership experience to share some of her thoughts, ideas, and suggestions in an invigorating and enlightening discussion.
This event is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Monday, March 3rd, and can either be attended in person at Carson City’s Seven Grille, inside Max Casino, or online via Zoom.
The presentation will begin after all lunch orders have been taken, around 1:30 PM. Those wishing to be on distribution for luncheon Zoom links and videos should contact Rich Dunn at richdunn@aol.com.
This event is sponsored by the Democratic Central Committee. The Men’s Committee schedules and hosts the presentations, which are open to the public.
