Sanders Supper Progressives of Kane County

Come celebrate Bernie’s Birthday with Progressives of Kane County. This will be our first ever fundraiser for the Progressives of Kane County! This will be a chance for those of us who have been fighting for the progressive cause to dine and enjoy time with our progressive brothers and sisters. We have fought hard for the cause, now it’s time to enjoy ourselves before we have to rejoin the fight. You will have a chance to win some cash as we will be having a 50/50 raffle.

The event will be held at Pal Joey’s 2030 Main St, Batavia at 5pm-8pm on September 8th.
