In the next few days four members of the Lake County Democratic Party will head for Denver and the most exciting Democratic National Convention ever. The group headed by LCDCC Chair Rebecca Curry, includes Wanda Harris, LCDCC Immediate Past Chair, Sunol Westergren, chair of the Lake County Democratic Club and Wendy White, Obama supporter from day one.

Each of us has secured a spot as volunteer for one or more of the many events happening over the next week. In addition, we have signed up for Emily's List 2008 Convention Event, featuring Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama, the National Women's Political Caucus Reception featuring members of Congress Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, Loretta Sanchez of California, Diana De Gette of Colorado and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of Florida, and we will be marching in honor of Hillary Rodham Clinton as we celebrate the 88th anniversary of Women's Suffrage.

This will be the fifth Democratic National Convention I have had the opportunity to attend, the first being Mondale-Ferrero in 1984 and my favorites 1992 and 1996 Clinton Gore both of which I attended as an honorary guest of the United Steelworker's Union whose International President at the time was George F. Becker who was married to my sister Jane until his death in 2006.

Watch here for updates from Denver.

Wanda Harris lives in Hidden Valley Lake.
