The President's days of wine and roses with Congress are over. How will he handle it? Will he moderate his message? Or will he blindly continue to "stay the course" with an escalation in the Iraq war? Will he unveil another nano-issue like ending the beef between Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell? Don't you want to see what he comes up with next?

NY YOUNG DEMOCRATS CAUCUS OF COLOR ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING
We've done a great job with networking and advocacy in 2006, now, lets roll up our sleeves and GET TO WORK!!
The event will be our general membership (and those who seek to learn more about joining) meeting.

Wednesday, January 24th, 20077:00pm
1199SEIU Headquarters Auditorium
330 West 42nd Street, NYC
These meetings are working meetings where we plan the calendar for the year, discuss committees, ideas for membership and outreach initiatives, new campaign initiatives and hear from some of NY's special surprise guest speakers!!Please confirm your attendance at rsvp@nycaucusofcolor.org or call 646-530-8308.
*********************************************************
Fellow Caucus of Color members and friends -
The Young Democrats of America (YDA) is happy to announce our Winter Conference will be held in Washington, DC on February 2-4, at the same time and in the same hotel as the next Democratic National Committee (DNC) meeting. YDA will also kick off our 75th year celebration with our Founder’s Day event on Friday night. During the Winter National Conference, YDA will hold regular business meetings, hear from amazing keynote speakers and Party leaders and learn from experienced trainers.
This will be an action-packed meeting, as it is being held in conjunction with the Winter DNC meeting. DNC meeting credentials will be given out at the DNC registration area, on Thursday and Friday (Feb 1-2) from 10am-2pm only. When you sign up for the YDA meeting, your name is also given to the DNC for a guest credential. This will allow you to attend DNC sessions. To get the guest pass, however, you MUST be registered for the YDA meeting.
The website for the Young Democrats of America meeting in Washington DC Feb 2-4 has gone live!!
The website location is: http://www.yda.org/events/111/winter-conference-founders-day-celebration.
Please use this website to register for the meeting if you are planning to go. The YDA meeting alone costs $25 to register.
There is also a major fundraising event called the YDA Founders Day celebration. This event usually attracts many members of Congress and the US Senate, national Democratic Party leaders, national news media and the like, and I'm sure that many DNC members will attend since they will be in town for their meeting.
The cost of a Founder's Day ticket is $75. If you decide to go to Founders Day, your cost for the YDA meeting is included.
So, for $75 you can go to Founders Day, the DNC meeting, and the YDA meeting. For $25, you can attend just the DNC meeting and the YDA meeting.
For lodging, YDA has latched onto the DNC rate for the Washington Hilton where Reagan was shot in 1981. The rate is $179/night PLUS tax, which brings it close to $200/night. YDA realizes this is very expensive for most of us, even when you have 4 people to a room. The first week of January, they promise to provide cheaper alternatives.For those of you who will fly into DC, we would recommend (Reagan) Internation Airport, since it is on the Metro line, and will be much cheaper to get into DC itself than Dulles, which is in the Virginia suburbs.If you decide to attend this meeting, please let us know when you have registered. We light to keep track of the NYers who go, just for coordination purposes. We also want to be sure you are included in social events throughout the weekend, so knowing who is going to attend from NY will help.Please contact us at rsvp@nycaucusofcolor.org if you have any questions regarding this meeting and/or when you register to attend.

Made in NY at MOMA

http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/film_media/2006/Made_in_NY.html

Made in NYSeptember 23–December 31, 2006 Established in 1966 under Mayor John V. Lindsay, the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theater, and Broadcasting promotes New York City as a location for filming and assists filmmakers with all aspects of production in New York City. Under Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Commissioner Katherine Oliver, the City created the Made in NY program, which celebrates and provides incentives for entertainment production in New York City. Over the last forty years an astonishing number of significant and influential feature films that have become part of American popular culture have been made in New York. This four-month exhibition, drawn primarily from the Museum’s collection, celebrates New York’s and the Mayor’s Office’s contributions to modern American cinema.
