Please join us for our annual festive tea and champagne reception to honor local women making a difference and to remember the original meaning of Mother's Day as a call to women's political activism.
The event will be held on Saturday May 12 from 3 to 5 pm at the historic Red Devon restaurant in the charming hamlet of Bangall just south of Stanfordville.
We will be honoring Elisa Sumner with the Lucille Pattison Woman of the Year award. As the chair of the Dutchess County Democratic Committee, Elisa has worked and continues to work tirelessly on behalf of our candidates.
In 1978, Lucille Pattison was the first woman elected County Executive in New York State and the first Democratic woman County Executive in the United States. She was a founding member of the DDWC.
