We are pleased to announce that, from January 31 to February 2, 2014, the Democratic Veterans Caucus of Florida will be having a Retreat at the Mission Inn Resort and Club located in Howey-in-the-Hills in Lake County, Florida. The purpose of this retreat is to strategize about getting Democrats and Democratic Veterans elected to office in the 2014 Elections. We also want to be sure that any Candidates that are running for office in 2014 are knowledgeable of all Veterans issues that need to be addressed. During the course of the retreat, there will be many issues andconcerns that will be discussed by the State and Local Membership.

The Retreat will kick off with a VIP Reception Friday evening, followed by a busy Saturday of meetings and training. On Saturday evening, enjoy an elegant resort dinner in the company of your fellow activists. Click here to download the DVCF Retreat Registration Form, which outlines the resort packages that are available to fit each individual’s needs.
