Are you concerned about where things are heading? Here are some ways to get involved and make a positive difference in our community!

The JC Dems are becoming known for being Here for Good, but we need help on several community projects. If you are interested in getting involved in any of the projects listed below, please reply to this email with your name, project of interest and contact information (email and phone.) Thanks!

Mini Food Pantry –

• Volunteers to check and stock the mini food pantry located at the Cornerstone Pharmacy, once per week, for a month. Let us know which month of the year works best for you. (Training will be provided.)
• People to donate food items such as canned goods, peanut butter, Ramen Noodles, box mixes, cereal etc. Pick up of food donations is available.
• People to donate money to purchase food items for the Mini Pantry.

Home Delivered Meals –

• Volunteers to help deliver Home Delivered Meals to community members. (Delivery routes and hot meals are provided by the Senior Center, and training is provided to those interested.) The Senior Center will let us know slots that need to be filled.

Adopt-a-Highway –

• Volunteers to help pick up trash, once in the spring and once in the fall, along Highway 16 W. Those willing to volunteer will be contacted when each date is set.

We also need people willing to become Precinct Committeewomen and Committeemen. These are crucial, grassroots roles in our county and state party; a terrific way to get to know and lend support to fellow registered Democrats in your neighborhood.

Questions? Or ready to volunteer? Just send us a note with your name, area of interest, and contact information.

THANKS for helping the JC Dems be Here for Good!

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:

Wyoming Democrats are invited to join in on July 28th. More info and signup link here.

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.

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.
