Emily Turner Receives Scholarship from Democratic Club

Fallbrook Democratic Club awarded High School Senior Emily Turner, with an enlarged version of a check for $500 to use toward her college degree in journalism. Chris Assad, Club Publicity and Scholarship Chairperson introduced Emily at the meeting on June 3rd. Thirty five members and guests were there for the occasion. Although there were 17 qualified applicants for the scholarship, Emily was the perfect recipient with her A+ average and nearly a thousand hours of volunteer services to the Womens’ Resource Center, New Haven Home for Boys, Stand up for Kids, Angel Shop, Casa De Amparo & Special Olympics to name a few. She has also received awards from the National Charity League. In her essay she said “Each time I volunteer, I fall more in love with the act of helping others. My goal is to make this world a better place.” You do Emily. Congratulations!

Past Featured Club Speakers

General David M. Brahms, 
January Speaker, Apparently 
Two Places at Once

January 7th, 2010, as the Club listened to retired USMC General David M. Brahms give a stirring talk (because yes, we can handle the truth*) which started with him describing how he stood behind  President Obama (literally as well as figuratively) as he signed the pledge to close down Guantanamo, footage of that very event was being shown on the East Coast feed of The Daily Show. (Screen capture pictured above.)

*Never explain a joke, except when you have to: Gen Brahms was a technical advisor on the film A Few Good Men.

Bill Moyers Honors Chalmers Johnson, saying of Nemesis "There's one book in particular I would put in everybody's stocking if I could. It's not new - it was actually published three years ago. But I read it again this month, and found its message more relevant than ever." (Watch the video or read the transcript.) 

  JOHNSON addressed The Club in June 2007 as part of his Nemesis Tour.  A DVD of this talk, Evil Empire, is now available from The Club.  Order online, or arrange to buy at the meeting. (Pictured above: Chalmers Johnson & MOF)
