Democrats Abroad Geneva will come together on November 4th, 2009 in the same spirit of hope and change that brought hundreds together one year ago to witness the historic election of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Join us one year later to toast that great moment. We hope you will come out in numbers as we renew our commitment to continue to bring the change we voted for to Washington.

We've learned that change doesn't stop with an election. Change began with voting for President Obama. In his words: "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."

The Television Suisse Romande (TSR) followed us through the campaign, the election and the inauguration events here in Geneva. This November 4th, they will be back to see what Democrats Abroad is doing one year after our victory. Let's be sure the TSR reports who we are today: a bigger, more vibrant, and proud group of Americans living in Switzerland. As we look towards 2010, we will work just as hard as we did in 2008 to make sure all Americans around the world register to vote. Let's renew our efforts – to bring the votes we need to maintain the Democrat's majority in Congress and ensure that the change we all voted for will happen. Come find out what we have planned and how you can get involved!

WE ARE THE CHANGE!!

P.S. – for planning purposes, it would be great if you could drop us an email to let us know you will be there. Thanks! Maya

October after work meet up on 22nd

Join us at the Brasserie des Halles de l'Ile for inexpensive drinks and rich conversation... Bring new friends, meet old ones, and, of course, talk politics!!

DA-Geneva Meet-Ups usually take place every third Thursday of each month at Brasserie des Halles de l'Ile. This month we've pushed it back one week due to the big 45th Anniversary of Dems Abroad fundraising cocktail party that took place on October 14th.

WHEN: Thursday, October 22 - 7 p.m.

1 Place de l'Ile
1204 Geneva, Switzerland

Look for us in the bar area!

*NOTE* Geneva group leadership will meet from 6-7 pm at the Brasserie just before the official meet-up begins. Interested members are more than welcome to join this discussion and get involved. We are working on several interesting projects - come volunteer to help: November 4th celebration of 1 year anniversary of Barack Obama's election; and Americans in Switzerland social service project to help wounded soldiers at Landstuhl hospital in Germany through care package donations for holiday gifts and visit on weekend of 12 Decmeber.

How to get there?
Bus / Tram stops "STAND" on Quai de la Poste and take the small foot bridge. Or Pl. de l'Ile can be reached from Bel Aire, by weeding your way through the road works mess.

This venue is non-smoking, has a very spacious bar with inexpensive drinks..the perfect place for a relaxing political get-together.

Hope to see you on the 22th!
