Asheville North Carolina
Good day and welcome to
DKos Asheville. This is the weekly DKos Asheville open thread for Saturday, August 29th. We try to get together every weekend to share with everyone what we're all up to in Western North Carolina and beyond. We hope this group and others serve to invigorate us locally and regionally here on Daily Kos, building on the sense of community that's grown through our online engagement.
DKos Asheville and other local and state groups can give us all a better sense of connection, a better understanding of who we stand with, work with, and share with. We hope this local and wider community can help leverage our orange passion for progressive politics to move the country forward. Following is the new Daily Kos Mission Statement and we are proud to be part of this movement, on the keys and on the ground.
Daily Kos fights for a progressive America by empowering its community and allies with information and tools to directly impact the political process.
Please join us below the Great Seal of Local Power for this week's edition about helping our guests.
We have a lot of people coming into Asheville from all over the country for the first ever Daily Kos fall regional conference on September 25-27. We have touched on it before, but I would like once again to open up the discussion about places to stay, local transportation or just more information about what to expect from Asheville while you're visiting our great little city in the mountains.
I don't have information yet on the numbers already booked but since Saturday's main event is limited to 200, it could be filling up fast. I would hope that locally we could reach out to attendees and try to facilitate their needs and make them feel welcome.
So to our guests, please use this diary to reach out if you need something from DKos Asheville to make your visit great. If you are a DKos Ashevillian, please use this to reach out to our guests to help make their visit wonderful.
This is an Open Thread.
