On December 8th, 2006, Progressive Dane hosted our end of the year event, the Snowball at the Cardinal Bar. Turnout was excellent, with elected officials, members, and friends of Progressive Dane showing up to support the organization.
In addition to quality conversation and a lovely acoustic guitar performance by Doug Pahl, Progressive Dane held a brief awards ceremony honoring particularly committed individuals with the Unsung Heroes award, and giving longtime social activist Jean McCubbin the Kathy Schroeder award for outstanding commitment to social justice.
Unsung heroes honorees include Richard Russell, who built and maintains the Progressive Dane database; former PD intern Jessica Adelman, who initiated the premiere lecture in our "Forum for Progressive Voices" series; Rick Richards, who, in addition to chairing a PD task force assisted heavily in creating the Progressive Dane Policy Manual; Jacque Pokorney, who tirelessly assists in the graphic design of Progressive Dane's monthly newsletter, and Progressive Dane endorsded Alder candidate Vicky Selkowe, for her work on the paid sick leave issue.
Progressive Dane raised a notable amount of money by hosting the event, and a continued thanks goes out to all who made monetary donations, brought food, or attended. It was great to see everyone!
