SAVE THE DATE !!!
20TH ANNIVERSARY ANNUAL GALA
Picture it, 2003. Myspace and iTunes launched. The top song was Outkast's "Hey Ya!" The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won 11 Oscars. The final episode of Friends aired. Michael Jordan retired. The average college graduate had $18,500 in debt. California Governor Gray Davis was recalled and Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected.
Then, the East Bay Young Democrats were formed. Save the date for our 20th Anniversary Annual Gala! If you are a former member with photos and memories to share, please reach out to [email protected]. In the meantime, please enjoy these throwback photos of where our current board was during the 2000s. See you soon!
