Return of the PCR!

Linnea Tastad-Damer on 10 July 2017

July 1st, 2017 marked the return of the Political Contribution Refund (PCR) here in Minnesota! All MN DFL members are encouraged to donate $50 individual/$100 married couple to a MN DFL group such as SD64 DFL or MN state office candidate such as Rep Erin Murphy, Rep Dave Pinto, or Sen Dick Cohen between now and December 31st, 2017. See here for details. When you donate to SD64 DFL at a fundraiser or online, our treasurer will send you a receipt in the mail which you can mail to the state with the 2017 Form PCR application to receive a full refund within a few weeks! It’s a great, easy way to support grass root DFL groups such as SD64 DFL. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to info@sd64dfl.org and we can guide you through the process.

St Paul DFL Bowling Fundraiser – April 13

Linnea Tastad-Damer on 22 March 2015

The St. Paul DFL is having a fundraiser at the Midway Pro Bowl on Monday, April 13, at 7:00pm. The party has rented out the entire facility, so there will be plenty of lanes as well as plenty of space to mingle if bowling isn’t your thing. You can sign up a team of four or sign yourself up and meet your team there. This is a great opportunity to bowl a few frames, hang out with local activists, and support the DFL as they prepare for what is expected to be a historically large convention. If you’re interested in joining, you can sign up here.
