Re: Acknowledgements

Below is the list of elected officials, DNC leadership and WLF
leadership who will be at the event. We hope that the First Lady
will acknowledge the federal, statewide and city officials. The
councilmembers will be acknowledged in the pre-program.
We hope that the First Lady will also acknowledge the DNC
leadership as well as the WLF leadership. In addition, it would
be helpful if the First Lady could include in her remarks a few
words about Pat Pepper, who stepped down as WLF New York Chapter
|________________________
Chair after the '98 elections. It is really because of Pat's
vision and tireless commitment that we have a room of almost 900
members today who are both activists and donors.
Laura Ross, filled Pat Pepper's shoes. Laura was the Deputy
Campaign Manager for Chuck Schumer's successful Senate campaign.
One of her focuses was bringing women into the campaign as leaders
and as voters. Laura will introduce the First Lady. Laura is
Chair of the WLF New York Chapter.

Suggested Talking Points for March 3 WLF Luncheon in New York City
Date: February 23, 1999
The Luncheon on March 3 is a three-tiered event sponsored by the Women's Leadership
Forum. The event begins with a 900 person luncheon, followed by a private
reception/photoline for WLF General Members (who contributed to this event or raised
membership dues), followed by a Roundtable Discussion with WLF Finance and Executive
Council Members (who contributed to this event or raised membership dues).
We have had an overwhelming response to this event. This is WLF's largest event since
the 1996 elections and our most successful event. We will raise over $500,000 from 900
supporters. There is a Host Committee of over 160 women, and approximately 50 Vice
Chairs and Co-Chairs of the event. Given the limited space, we are still not able to
accommodate several hundred individual donors. This event is twice the size of the
previous two years event in New York.
New York is WLF's most active chapter. There are 8 to 10 briefings a year for members
and ongoing outreach to women from all communities.
Acknowledgments
A complete list will follow.
Suggested Talking Points
We would suggest that the general theme of the speech focus on women's political
leadership. We would like to encourage everyone at the luncheon to be inspired to return
to their local communities and be a messenger, and a leader, for the Democratic Party.
In 1998 we saw once again the importance of women as voters, as activists and as
candidates. In New York, it was women who helped elect Senator Chuck Schumer.
We can expect women to continue to be critical as we look forward to 2000. We expect,
and we need, women to be intregally involved with electing Democrats to the majority
tt
party. It was women who helped make certain that the last President of the 20th Century
was a Democrat and we know that it will be women who help elect a Democrat to be the
first President of the 21st century.

BACKGROUND
This dinner is a fundraiser for the Women's Leadcrship Forum of the Democratic National
Committee. The Women's Leadership Forum (WLF) promotes leadership and grassroots
values-based policies for women at the local, state and national levels of the Democratic
Party. With Tipper Gore as Honorary Chair, one of the WLF's newest and most
successful programs is "100,000 for 2000" a grassroots political membership program
which is designed to engage 100,000 women in state and local Democratic Party activities
by the 2000 elections.
A list of the Event Co-Chairs and Host Committee is attached. The response to this event
was tremendous, and the WLF has had to turn people away for lack of space. There are
close to 900 women expected at this luncheon and a waiting list that is already over 300
names long.
This event has three tiers: the main luncheon with 900 plus guests, a photo receiving line
with approximately 120 guests, and finally, a roundtable with 50 guests.
III. PARTICIPANTS
See attached guest list for photo line and roundtable.

The event begins with a 900 person luncheon, followed by a private\nreception/photoline for WLF General Members (who contributed to this event or raised\nmembership dues), followed by a Roundtable Discussion with WLF Finance and Executive\nCouncil Members (who contributed to this event or raised membership dues).\nWe have had an overwhelming response to this event. This is WLF's largest event since\nthe 1996 elections and our most successful event. We will raise over $500,000 from 900\nsupporters. There is a Host Committee of over 160 women, and approximately 50 Vice\nChairs and Co-Chairs of the event. Given the limited space, we are still not able to\naccommodate several hundred individual donors. This event is twice the size of the\nprevious two years event in New York.\nNew York is WLF's most active chapter. There are 8 to 10 briefings a year for members\nand ongoing outreach to women from all communities.\nAcknowledgments\nA complete list will follow.\nSuggested Talking Points\nWe would suggest that the general theme of the speech focus on women's political\nleadership. We would like to encourage everyone at the luncheon to be inspired to return\nto their local communities and be a messenger, and a leader, for the Democratic Party.\nIn 1998 we saw once again the importance of women as voters, as activists and as\ncandidates. In New York, it was women who helped elect Senator Chuck Schumer.\nWe can expect women to continue to be critical as we look forward to 2000. We expect,\nand we need, women to be intregally involved with electing Democrats to the majority\ntt\nparty.
