Besides news about defeating Congressman Tom McClintock, the next Mariposa Democratic Club will host a Salon, with a guest moderator, on Saturday, October 14, 9:45 a.m., at the Miners Roadhouse at 5159 Hwy. 140 in Mariposa.

What is a Salon? According to Wikipedia, a Salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation. It’s a chance for everyone to share ideas and opinions about current event topics. Topics chosen will depend on the hot topic of the week, meaning it might depend on the latest tweet from President Trump.

Discussion is sure to be lively as all opinions are welcomed and encouraged. It’s also a chance for people to get to know others with similar interests. You can participate or sit back and enjoy the repartee.

There will also be news announcements about several measures currently happening in our Congressional District to replace Congressman Tom McClintock. There may be opportunities for some people to help with various efforts.

A brief business meeting will also be held.

While the meeting starts at 9:45 a.m. with the flag salute, people can arrive at 9:00 a.m. if they want to order breakfast for themselves. This event is open to the public.

Free coffee and water will be available.
