From the Young Dems: Due to a scheduling error after the recent storms, the 2011 MCYD Executive Board Elections have been moved to a new location. We will NOT be meeting at the B-CC Regional Services Center, instead elections have moved to the Wheaton Regional Library, 11701 Georgia Ave, Wheaton MD. They will still be at 7:30 PM tonight.
