Tonight: First Meeting of Reconstituted Young Bronx Democrats Club

Bronx Democrats will begin creating the next generation of party patrons tonight at the first 2012 meeting of the Bronx Young Democrats, a group only recently reconstituted by party chairman and Bronx assemblyman Carl Heastie. A chipper staffer at the Bronx Democratic County Committee office said doors for the meeting, at the Chippewa Democratic Club (1447 Ferris Place) near Westchester Square, will open at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting will start at 7 p.m.

In a press release announcing the meeting, Lailoni Narvaez, the president of the Bronx Young Democrats, said, “We believe our voice should be among those calling for the re-election of President Barack Obama and our efforts should be dedicated to helping spread the word about the greats of the Bronx’ Democratic Party.”
