VOLUNTEER/DONATE About the Ambassador Club In 2006, Democrats recognized the need to provide permanent facilities and substantive support for the day-to-day operations of the Flagler County Democratic Party. The idea was to present a consistent and viable presence of Democrats yearround and on a year-to-year basis. With the support of its membership, the Ambassador Club generated the funds to locate a permanent Democratic site, support of its day-to-day operational costs, and, consequently, allows access to Flagler County Democrats via a central facility. This central facility has become a response center and has provided Democratic candidates with communication media access as well as a variety of support services. The site also is a hub for leadership training, small group meetings, and strategy sessions. Membership in the Ambassador Club entitles you to special discounts and VIP seating and identifies you as one, committed to the overall success of the party and its candidates, who has provided an extra boost .

HOW DO I JOIN? The Membership fee is $120 per person annually. Payment may be made to the Flagler County DEC by check or credit card This amount may be paid in full or in installments and should be directed o the address on the membership form. MEMBERSHIP FORM
