Happy Holidays! The Linn County Democrats raised nearly $400 with a silent auction, featuring three lovely holidays gift baskets, and a wreath raffle at our festive Dec. 7 meeting at the Santiam Place Wedding & Event Hall in Lebanon. Steve Harbert had the top bid on one of the baskets that included the Democratic Donkey ornament that now adorns his tree. Thank you, Steve, and to those who donated that evening. And many thanks to everyone who contributed financially and with their time and talent to the Linn County Dems and the candidates we supported in 2023! Happy Holidays and wishing you and fellow Democrats the very best in 2024!
