Thanks to Joe Montano and Mary Lee Cerillo for the photos and the report on the Sully District Democratic Fundraiser held yesterday.  Unfortunately, I was unable to attend because I was watching my wife do a jazz concert, but Joe says that it was "a grand affair."  According to Joe:

Elected officials present were Sen. Mark Herring, Del. Ken Plum, Del. Chuck Caputo, Del. David Poisson, School Board Members Janet Oleszek, Stuart Gibson, Kathy Smith

Candidates present were George Barker, Janet Olezsek, Jay Donahue, Rex Simmons, Tina Hone, Ray Morrough, and David Miller. Elected officials and candidates were introduced while the Limbo Rock played and each one participated in a Q & A. Each one picked a question randomly from a hat rather than using their stump speeches.

A live and silent auction went on (details from Mary Lee).

More photos and details from Joe and from Mary Lee, Sully District Chairperson, on the "flip."
From Mary Lee Cerillo:

Attendance was over 125 people.  Delegate Ken Plum ran the Live Auction and should be an auctioneer in his retirement.  The Silent Auction featured handmade items, baked goods and services such as four hours of gardening by one of our members who is a Master Gardener, an attorney who was willing to draw up a will, etc.

We, out in Sully District, (one of the most Republican  Districts) in Fairfax have worked tirelessly to elect Democrats so we decided rather than hear canned speeches from all of our candidates we'd interview them instead.  They were given a multiple choice question and could choose from any one of four humorous
answers.  I think they all proved that they are worthy of our support so we're ready to work to get them all elected in November.

In all, I think everyone had a great time and Sully District raised money in our continuing effort to get Democrats elected and to change Sully from purple to BLUE!!

I was there (blue dawg - 6/25/2007 11:51:50 PM)
I loved the unique way they introduced candidates (limbo stick) and had them answered questions (out of a hat).  It was truly unique to Sully District.


Congrats to Sully (j - 6/26/2007 10:28:40 AM)
Sully District members deserve a lot of credit for their fun, creative fundraiser.  Their hard work shows at every level and will help elect our Dems this year once again! Way to go, Sully!

Glad to see that we are working to raise money from anywhere we can!

Wish there were pictures of the limbo stick.
