MALDEN DEMOCRATS TO HOST BARBECUE AUGUST 25 AT ANTHONY’S

  Malden, MA, August 9, 2022 – The Malden Democratic City Committee cordially invites friends and neighbors from Malden and around the region to attend this year’s Malden Democrats Summer Barbecue at Anthony’s of Malden’s outdoor space on Thursday, August 25 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend, enjoy food and conversation with Malden Democrats, and meet elected officials and candidates in a relaxed and informal cookout atmosphere.

  Returning after a two-year pandemic hiatus, this event is popular with Maldonians of all ages. It gives attendees from Malden and beyond a unique opportunity to hear from elected officials and candidates who are Democrats, meet local Democratic organizers, learn more about the Democratic Party in Malden, and find out what they can do to make a difference in local, statewide, and national campaigns for candidates or policies. All are welcome to attend, but only Democrats will be on the speaking program.

  Tickets are $35 per person. Food will include burgers, hot dogs, vegetarian options, and the usual accompaniments. A cash bar will be available. Kids 5 and under are admitted free. Tables of 10 tickets may be purchased for $315.  Purchase tickets online at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mdccbbq22  or at the door. Advance purchase is encouraged to help with food planning.  If you are a Democratic candidate or elected official and you would like to speak or send someone to speak on your behalf, or if you need more information about the event, please contact MDCC chair Ari Taylor at maldendemocrats@gmail.com or 339-224-1437.

  Anthony’s of Malden, 105 Canal Street in Malden, offers free parking, is wheelchair accessible, and is just a short walk from the MBTA Orange Line Malden Center station. The safety of all attendees is important and caution is advised. While the event is outdoors, everyone is encouraged to wear a mask when not eating or drinking. (Anyone who is ill or experiencing COVID symptoms is asked to stay home.)

  Ticket proceeds and donations will help to elect Democrats at every level and support policies and causes in line with the Party platform. Donors can also request that a portion of their contribution be used toward a scholarship being created to honor the late Dee Campbell-Tompkins, a very active member of the community and the MDCC.
