Sue Broidy is leaving Ojai -- *2nd UPDATE*
Join the Ojai Valley Democratic Club for a FAREWELL CELEBRATION in honor of
SUE BROIDY
Many people in Ojai know Sue, not just through her work with the OVDC and the California Democratic Party, but through her volunteer work in everything from the OVGC to affordable housing and the homeless task force. Come help us celebrate this wonderful member of our community.
When: Monday, Jan 25th at 7 pm
Where: Ojai Art Center
113 S. Montgomery St
Ojai, CA 93023
Potluck information and Details after the break.
It is with sadness that I must report that our Secretary and Financial Officer, Sue Broidy, is leaving Ojai and moving to Colorado next month. It is not mere hyperbole to say that Sue has been like a force of nature in Democratic politics here in Ventura County. In addition to serving as our prime motivator and Secretary here in Ojai, she is also the Region 10 Director for the California Democratic Party.
I have often marveled at Sue's energy and dedication which propels her, on her own dime in her own car, from the Monterey County line to Los Angeles in the service of the Democratic Party and democracy.
In addition to her volunteer work for the Democrats, she is also a Director and Resource Chair for the Ojai Valley Green Coalition, a member of the Ventura County Homeless Task Force and until recently she sat on the board of the McCune Foundation Grant Committee. This is but a partial list of Sue's affiliations and achievments.
Her ability to keep tabs on all facets of national, state, regional, county and local politics will be sorely missed and impossible to replace.

sad news, but what an admitted thrill to find out on the OP first!
my family has known, worked with, benefited from the efforts and generosity of, and been blessed by Sue Broidy for many years. i'm so proud to know her, and wish her safety and health as she moves on to grace another community! i know she has family in Colorado, so i'm sure they're thrilled to have her closer.
