CCYD overview
Here's what the Crawford County Young Democrats are up to at the moment.
I. Fundraising.
The Young Dems are currently in the early stages of planning a Valentine's Day themed fundraiser. The purpose of the fundraiser is to help raise money to send our members to Washington days 2024.
We have a substantial gauged interest in young dem participation at Washington Days. We are hoping to raise enough money to send several of our members to the convention.
We would appreciate the county party's support. Please keep an eye out for additional details.
We are also planning on assisting the Crawford County Democrats in fundraising for Jordan Metcalf's KS House 3 campaign, and CC Dems Chairperson Dr. Emily Walters' paid canvassing proposal. Several of our members are interested in canvassing.
Financial information: We are engaged with the KGEC and SOS with establishing a bank account to hold our operations funds and any funds raised.

The Young Democrats are gathering for a bowling party on February 7th, from 7:00-9:00 pm. $15 for two hours of unlimited bowling + a hot dog and 20 oz. fountain drink.
