                   The annual St. Charles Democratic Central Committee First Captitol Dinner was a huge success with a sold out crowd.  Many Democrats from St. Louis and Jefferson County joined the local Democrats as they welcomed State Treasurer Clint Zwieful and Secretary of State Robin Carnahan.  Both gave rousing litanies of what they have each been able to get done in their terms thus far.  Robin confirmed with the crowd that she will not let her opponent Roy Blunt get away with the "BULL" that he's accustomed to handing out.  Robin has spent many years taking care of the family farm out side of Rolla and from that experience she has learned to spot the "BULL" when it is being spewed.

The annual presentation of the James C Kirkpatrick award was made after dinner.  The recipient of this year's award was Larry Laughlin.  Larry has been instrumental in revitializing the Central Committee's fundraising activities and events.  The Democratic party has a lot to thank Larry for in 2009 and 2010.  We thank Larry (and his beautiful wife, Mary Kay) for all that they do to keep the annual dinner and all our other fundraising efforts on track.

A good time was had by all.
