FROM OUR DIRECTORS

& OFFICERS

 

Since the last Presidential election (aka the great disappointment), BCDA has grown to become the largest local Democratic organization in WV. Our meetings are very friendly and informative. Membership is open to  all Democrats and Independents, liberals and conservatives, natives and newcomers. BCDA is the ideal place for civic-minded folks to plug in to all the campaigns, all the organizations, and all sorts Democratic activities. Thanks to the selfless commitment of our many members working within and outside BCDA, our members are recognized as Berkeley County's working army of Democrats.

Sincerely,

Bill Yearout, President
