About us
We are an active and diverse group of women and men. Our objectives are:
- To support the principles of the Democratic Party;
- To initiate and carry out programs and projects on behalf of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party’s candidates; and
- To promote Democratic women to become actively involved in our community, to serve in leadership positions in the county, state, and national Democratic Party, and to serve as candidates for elective office.
Coffees
We have casual coffee meet ups on the 2nd Saturday of each month. We meet at Old Europe, 716 South Main St., downtown Greenville. There’s no cost to attend, no sign up required, just come grab coffee and a croissant and enjoy conversation with a group of like-minded women! For the most up-to-date information check the GCDP Events Calendar for current dates and times of DWGC events.
Meetings
Our meetings are held the second Monday of each month at noon. Meetings are most often, but not always, lunch. For the most up-to-date information check the GCDP Events Calendar for current dates and times of DWGC events. Lunch is $25. Reservations and payment can be made online.
Cocktails and Conversation
A lot of us work and getting to a luncheon is hard. But cocktails after work? That’s doable. Join us on the third Tuesday of each month at Oak and Honey for a cocktail and some great conversation. Just show up! For the most up-to-date information check the GCDP Events Calendar for current dates and times of DWGC events.
Book Club
Read the book but come from the discussion and the camaraderie. Reading the book is optional, but maybe after hearing about it, you may want to. Book Club is the fourth Monday of each month at the Foxcroft Wine Company on Main St. Because what’s a book club without wine? For the most up-to-date information check the GCDP Events Calendar for current dates and times of DWGC events.
