The Democratic women of Middle Tennessee are excited to welcome the Tennessee Federation of Democratic Women to Franklin, April 16-17, for the 53rd Annual Convention. Our Convention’s theme, “A New Era of Responsibility,” was taken from the call to action President Obama issued on Inauguration Day. During the Convention, we will listen to each other recount the ways we have been fulfilling our civic responsibilities in our counties, state, and country. We also will encourage each other, as individuals and as a group, to find new ways to be involved in politics and improve our communities. We will also have time for a lot of fun. On Friday night we have planned a game night. We will have cards, dice, and board games; but we will also set up an arcade with three large screens and gaming systems for those who want play Wii. If friendly competition isn’t your style, the women of Wilson County will staff a hospitality suite where you can visit with friends – old and new – and find something to eat and drink. And if friendly conversation isn’t your style, our hotel is located in Cool Springs, one of the best shopping centers in the whole state!
