JC Dems have a small committed group working to maintain a mini-pantry of free food for our community members who are hungry. Donations of food or money by like minded friends are always welcome. 

Here are some recommended guidelines for food donations;

• Popular items include: tuna, meat sticks, peanut butter, snack foods/granola bars, ramen, mac and cheese, dried  mashed  potatoes, cereal.
• Please do not include items that are temperature sensitive as the box is not temperature regulated or insulated.
• If providing canned goods, the cans with the pull tab opening is best.

Please bring donations to the JC Dems meeting on August 5th, or let Linda Wilson know and she will pick up any donations. Feel free to contact Linda with questions also.  You can send her a note using this form:

About the book this month:

“Evangelical Christians are perhaps the most polarizing—and least understood—people living in America today. In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement. Through the eyes of televangelists and small-town preachers, celebrity revivalists and everyday churchgoers, Alberta tells the story of a faith cheapened by ephemeral fear, a promise corrupted by partisan subterfuge, and a reputation stained by perpetual scandal.”

JC Dems hosted a trivia game at the big “Red, White and Blue BBQ” event on Friday July 4, 2025. Much fun was had by all! Many participants stopped by to challenge themselves and many prizes were awarded! The thunderstorms didn’t stand a chance!

Thank you to all the volunteers who signed up and those who didn’t and showed up anyway! As far as we know, the only photo made was near the end of the day, but one of the times I showed up there were at least 6 people participating and 5 volunteers. Lots of laughter and interest. One volunteer reported hearing, several times from several different people, “It is so good you are doing this!”

Check it out. Natrona Dems and others are holding a listening session in Casper on August 19, 2025 at 6:30pm. Read more here.

Heidi, chair of CCDP, has created and shared free digital downloads for post cards.

Check ’em out! There are two versions.

That page has instructions. Like, the digital download is intended to fit well using Avery Product #8387. Easy to find at office supply stores and “big box” stores.

https://www.avery.com/products/cards/8387

As of 30 minutes before posting this, Top Office in Sheridan has a few hundred of the blanks for this size card, although they are a different, discontinued, product. And can order #8387.

Cheers!

I don’t know the origin of this poster. I do believe it is old. 100 years? 144 years? If I had more time for “What We Will” maybe I would do some research.

For now, here’s a link to a post on Medium written in 2017 on some of the history around the 8-hour workday.
