"On behalf of the Young Democrats of Mecklenburg County and the Young Democrats of North Carolina, we are honored to invite you to the 2015 Gantt-Watt Reception.  We hope you will join us on Saturday, August 8 at the Oak Room, 200 East Bland Street in Charlotte, NC for what will surely be an excellent evening.


Every year, we come together to celebrate the legacies of Harvey Gantt and Mel Watt – and to celebrate others who are following in their footsteps. Proceeds from the reception will go toward our efforts training the next generation of activists, implementing new innovative campaign skills, and most importantly motivating our young leaders to improve North Carolina."
