Queen Holdagrudge

After a particularly looooooong executive board meeting with my fellow Young Dems last night, there was a rather unofficial announcement from our Membership Chair. She’s having a party this weekend, along with her sister, the Finance Chair, and she’d love it if all the officers could come.
