Events & Announcements
Welcome to the Bath Democratic Committee. Our goal is to make the Bath Democrats a vital force in keeping Bath a livable, strong community.
Let's March - July 4th 2009 Heritage Days Parade
The Sagadahoc Democratic Committee will be marching in the Heritage Days Parade on July 4. The theme this year is “REMEMBERING 80 YEARS PAST…PLANNING 80 YEARS HENCE”. The idea is based on the 80 year age of Bath City Hall.
In planning our entry this year, we chose to go with the 80 years past concept and our entry will include a tribute to the Democratic presidents of the past 80 years.
Leila Percy and her band will be singing on the back of a flatbed truck; they may include a few songs of 1929.
If you choose to dress as a flapper or wear a boater hat, you’ll be in the spirit.
We have lots of flags & signs for you to carry and small flags to be given out. And, of course, the Sagadahoc Democratic Committee banner will be out in front.
The parade will form at the usual spot on Oak Grove Avenue. Our position in the parade will be #74, walkers; #75, convertible; #76, Thom Watson; #77, flatbed truck. Please join us there. .
Please note: THE PARADE STARTS ONE HOUR EARLIER THIS YEAR DESPITE WHAT YOU MAY HAVE READ IN ONE OF THE LOCAL PAPERS; plan to assemble NOT LATER THAN 10:30 a.m. for the 11:00 a.m. start of the parade.

Sagadahoc Dems Call to Service
This year the Sagadahoc County Democratic Committee, in addition to its usual election-focused activities, is working to meet President Obama's inaugural call for all Americans to increase their participation in community service. The SagDems hope to provide the opportunity for Democrats throughout the county to connect with volunteer service organizations and plan to sponsor a Democrats service project later in the year. For more information, see their website: http://www.sagadahocdems.org. For local opportunities to volunteer, please contact: http://volunteermaine.org.
Additional Forums
Plans are still being formulated for two public forums: one on affordable health care in Maine and the other on jobs and the economy. Volunteers who are willing to organize and/or work on either of these topics are needed.
