Political Forums in Lake Worth

I don't know about you, but ever since I got interested in Lake Worth politics, the Lake Worth Democratic Club has had a local political forum and it was held at Brogues. It was one of the top held in Lake Worth, right next to the Neighborhood Association President's Council Forum at the Lake Worth Playhouse.

The Club's President, Drew Martin, said there was lack of interest this year and few to help organize the event. Brogues started charging the Club rent to have their monthly meeting. It was said that Club members were not purchasing enough food. So, the club packed up and moved their meeting place to Pegasus. The Democrats are losing ground all across the country and Lake Worth is no exception. Of any year to have exposure for the Democrats, 2010 is it.

I will really miss this political event at the Democratic Club--one of the best! It seems that a lot of the neighborhood associations have to get into the act and hold their very own forum to bring a "service to our members" or just fill an agenda. Each one wants to exceed the other. This is a superfluous use of time. ROLOH is one of the few and perhaps the only neighborhood association that does not get involved in local or national politics.

Let's limit to the top two forums--Lake Worth Democratic Club and the President's Council. The rest are unnecessary.
