April 19, 2009—"Honoring the Past, Empowering the Future" was the central theme for this year's annual Spring Banquet, held at the Old York Road Country Club in Ambler. The Spring Banquet is traditionally the ARDC's most successful fundraiser and social event, and this year was no exception. We were honored to feature Congressman
Patrick Murphy, who arrived early to sign copies of his book
Taking the Hill - From Philly to Baghdad to the United States Congress, as Keynote Speaker. Also in attendance were other prominent state and local officials including
Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz, State Senator LeAnna Washington, State Representative Josh Shapiro, State Representative Brendan Boyle, Montgomery County Commissioner
Joe Hoeffel, Montgomery County Democratic Committee Chairman
Marcel Groen, Jury Commissioner
Greg Holt, along with many 2009 judicial candidates from across the state and all of
ARDC's endorsed candidates, as well as ARDC community leaders and dignitaries from years past.
In addition, two members of our community were also honored this year: ARDC Committeeperson Committee Chair
Kathleen Joyce was named
Democrat of the Year and
Al Herrmann Outstanding Community Leader.
This year also featured our new environmentally-friendly "paperless" ad program projected during the banquet and
available for download here. Proceeds from the event help support Democratic candidates in our area.
Many thanks to
Robin Beall, who organized the event, and the rest of the Banquet Committee, who worked diligently to ensure that the 2009 banquet was an outstanding, enjoyable event!
