Caucus experience awe-inspiring

I want to express my awed appreciation and apology to Saturday's Democratic Party caucus attendees at Roosevelt Elementary School.

The apology is for the delay in having to regroup, as your coming through the doors overwhelmed our preparations for the caucus. We usually get up to 40 people, we prepared for 80 to 100...and nearly 400 people came to participate in this democratic process. Your understanding and patience was remarkable.

I believed that "only those who have a passion for issues would attend the caucus". and did not expect numbers like last saturday. You all blew me away! Thank you.

Kudos to Roosevelt's staff person for capably responding to the unexpected by opening the gym, setting up tables and chairs...and keeping his understanding and professional manner. Thanks to the volunteers who helped him without anyone asking.

Thank you to the high school volunteers and those who chaired their precincts or acted as secretaries and got the job done in spite of the drawbacks!

Thanks, Jim Camden, for your clarity in explaining the caucus process, posting sites and encouraging citizens to take part in this important grass-roots system.

I heard more than one comment about "I read about it in the paper".
