As we gear up for next weekend's Vote 2010 Kick-Off Canvass, we're asking event hosts to take a moment and share what's unique about their event. More personalized stories will help supporters see what we’re planning and get fired up about all the great happenings. If you’re a host, tell us more about your event here.

Maybe, like Barbara, you want to keep your district blue in 2010:

“In 2008 we registered so many new Democrats that we tipped New York’s 29th congressional district Democratic.  We need to keep those new voters involved and keep that seat Democratic so we can help with passage of Obama's agenda.”
- Barbara G., Pittsford, NY

Or maybe like Alexandra you want to help more folks get to the polls for the first time and keep going back:

“In 2008 my two daughters voted for the first time, ages 18 and 21.  I was so proud going to the poll with them and realized I would like to help others have that experience.  Voting for the first time is so special and gives one a sense of gratitude for our president and country.”
- Alexandra P., Henrico, VA

Personalizing your event will help show other OFA supporters who are on the fence about participating why they should join in. Take a second to tell us more about your event.

And if you’re hosting or thinking about attending an event, let us know in the comments below what you’re planning and what you’re looking forward to about next weekend.
