D’s Welcome Young Members

The Kootenai County Democratic Club welcomed new, young members to its annual Spring Forth Celebration Wednesday evening at the Lake City Center. The newly established North Idaho College Young Democrats made their community debut at the event, which serves as a major fundraiser for the KCDC. “We love young blood,” said Mike Kennedy, event emcee and former Coeur d’Alene city councilman. “Twenty years ago I was young blood like you. You get older and you still survive.” The NIC Young Democrats officially formed about a month ago. Six officers attended the Spring Forth Celebration, including club president Lindsey Shaw, 29, of Hayden. She said the Kootenai County Democrats were the inspiration for the NIC Democrats to form and that the club is focused on attracting even more young people to the party/ Devin Heilman , Coeur d’Alene Press.
