"We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak....there is such a thing as being too late....Life often leaves us standing bare, naked, and dejected with lost opportunity....Over the bleached bones of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words: ‘Too late.’" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Over 80 Democratic friends and officeholders joined the Tallmadge Democratic Club at its 3rd annual "Cinco De Mayo Festiva Fundraiser", on Tuesday, May 5th at Plaza Maya Restaurant in Tallmadge. The evening was a big success! We partied the night away by enjoying wonderful Hispanic food prepared by the owner of Plaza Maya, Miguel Castro. The highlight of the evening was listening to an accomplished six-piece-piece mariachi band. Margaritas and Mexican beer topped off the celebratory event. One thing is for certain - Democrats know how to party, celebrate, and have fun!
The 3rd Annual Cinco De Mayo Festival a Big Success!
