Denim Day, April 30th 2025 & April 26th Council of Clubs Meeting
Dear San Diego County Democratic Clubs
Due to the Roosevelt Dinner and the Progressive Labor Summit on April 19th, our Council of Clubs meeting will now be held on April 26th 2025.
This meeting will cover 2025 Pre-Endorsement timelines and protocols. Please make sure to send a representative as this is critical for your clubs voice to be heard.
Also - on April 30th, a number of events will be held to commemorate “Denim Day”, a day to recognize the survivors of sexual assault.
From
https://denimday.org/
“Denim Day 2025 is April 3oth…Join millions of people across the world that will wear jeans with a purpose, support survivors, and educate themselves and others about all forms of sexual violence.”
The San Diego Democratic Woman's Club (https://dwc-sd.org) will be holding an event at Mujeres Brew House 1983 Julian Ave San Diego 92113 from 5-7 PM to honor this day. Any clubs who wish to join please message the Director of Clubs clubs@sdddemocrats.org or the Democratic Woman’s Club, info@dwc-sd.org.
Thank you for all your hard work and support!

Votebuilder
All clubs have the option to request a Votebuilder/VAN account from the San Diego County Democratic Party, which has a quick lookup tool you can use to verify member information based on voter registration data (one per club).
Please email clubs@sdddemocrats.org, and SDCDP staff will get back to you as soon as they can.
Recurring Zoom Links for Club Meetings
Reminder:
The Club or Coalition shall meet individually at least once quarterly and for all endorsement votes and all meeting dates, times, and locations shall be provided to the SDCDP at least fourteen (14) days prior to the meeting for publication on the SDCDP website. A copy of the notice, agenda, and minutes for business meetings or endorsement meetings shall be supplied via email to the Director of Clubs and the SDCDP.
We’d like to encourage everyone to use a recurring Zoom meeting link for your club so we can add the link in the Party Calendar, which is easier than updating it once a month with a new link.
You can have a recurring meeting and still require registration (if desired), and either automatically or manually approve registrations. You can have them register for each meeting, or once for all meetings where they can use the same personal link every month.
You can still extract attendance records, as Zoom provides a report per meeting.
If you need help setting this up, please reach out for assistance.
Party Calendar
If you provided a Gmail address when re-chartering, you are able to edit your club’s meeting entries on the Party Calendar, on which the club is set up with a recurring meeting. You can edit just one occurrence or the complete series. You can add details of the agenda to each meeting, or change the date and time as required. If you need help, please reach out for assistance.
And as a reminder, if you change your meeting date, time, or location (Zoom link), you must update the calendar item yourself, or email clubs@sddemocrats.org.
If you don’t yet have access to edit your club’s Google calendar item, please email clubs@sddemocrats.org and provide the email address you want to use so SDCDP staff can assist you.
