Join the Democrats Abroad Rome Chapter for a membership picnic on Saturday September 22, 14.00 until dark. Relieve your political angst by doing something about it! Come discuss, soak and picnic at the first Democrats Rome Membership Drive event of the election year. This membership drive event will be held at the updated ancient thermal pools restored by Mario Bracci-Devoti, architect and husband of DA Rome member Ann Joyce, who has brought the pools back to their former glory. Come for as much of the day as you can. Anthony Sistilli, Chair of

Democrats Abroad Italy, will give details of the DA Italy Presidential nomination caucus, to be held in Rome in February, when the members of Democrats Abroad elect delegates to the 2008 Democratic Convention in Denver.

While the menu hasn't yet been set, we will be able to keep the cost of the day affordable, thanks to Ann and Mario. To volunteer to publicize, coordinate rides or food to share, please contact
