Annual Dues
PLEEEEEEASE
We hate putting this here, but we email to about 112 people and only got about 6 dues donations so far. Please consider helping us out.
​
Personally, I think we've been pretty great about NOT asking you for money, but once a year, we have to ask our members to contribute $25.00 per person to help fund the work we do. This money is critical to help us pay for things like this web site, our booth at community day, and all of those space lasers we supposedly have. Pretty please, if you have the means, send us your annual dues. Here's how you can get the money to us:
​​
Please - Send $25.00 per person
​
Send electronically via Zelle:
Send to: info@tfdems.org
Or scan this QR code from inside Zelle:​
Send an old fashioned check:
Payable to:
The Democratic Club of Tinton Falls
PO Box 91
Oakhurst NJ 07755
Or, if you must use cash, come pay at a meeting
Cash is our second least favorite option.
Not giving us any money is our least favorite option.

Wanna See The Republicans?​
Republican Candidate Debate Replay
Who the heck cares about the Republican candidates? Well, it's good to know who you might be running against, but the real reason this is here is because their debate was crazy. What a contrast between their debate and ours.
You can watch a replay of their debate at one of these:
Less than ONE WEEK until the Monmouth Democratic Convention.
