WHO: Anyone who came to Jack Danby’s Fundraiser today.
WHAT: A fundraiser complete with raffles and a speech.
WHEN: Sunday August 7th, from noon onwards.
WHERE: Belle’s Garden.
WARNINGS: N/A.
The Danby ‘16 Caring for the Community Picnic takes place in Belle’s Garden on Sunday, August 7th, after Church Mass has ended. Families are welcome and encouraged to attend so their children can see politics at work! The event was held in a reserved event space that’s enclosed by a stone fence with gates in each polar direction. High-school aged volunteers sold tickets ($10 each) at the different points of entry. While VOLUNTEER ONE spent most of their time registering people to vote and CHARLIE QUINN walked around the space giving free buttons to anyone that wanted one. Welcome everyone, and thank you for coming out to Belle’s Gardens today. We’ve had an overwhelming amount of support for this campaign, and it truly means a lot to me to see so many people out here. I’m Jack Danby, and I want to be your next mayor. Once Jack’s speech concluded ANA ABEDINI clapped and hooted the longest (and loudest) until MARCELLO PALLA, who wasn’t entirely there to give their full support to the Danby campaign grumbled an insult to them. Before the two of them could get into an argument JASPER SAMPSON SPENCER stepped between them. Although VOLUNTEER SIX came with full intentions to put all their support behind the Danby campaign his speech seems to be leaning a bit too liberal now. They voiced complaints to BRIDGET KLUGE about how they wishes the witches might have more restrictions on their potions, not less. VOLUNTEER EIGHT is so inspired by the speech that they sign up to help with the campaign right away. In true picnic style, finger foods are brought out. There are sandwiches cut into small triangles (with labels to help those vegetarians & vegans among them), pigs in a blanket, vegetable kabobs, and strawberry shortcake cups. JEMMA SAMPSON SPENCER is less than impressed by the fact that these sandwiches are so small and have the audacity to be crustless. But VOLUNTEER TEN sees the small sizes of the offerings only as a challenge to see how many they can fill up on one plate. VOLUNTEER ELEVEN is less than impressed with VOLUNTEER TEN and barks at them to only take their fair share. But worry not, catering brings out more when the trays get low on food. While everyone is enjoying time in the park Jack Danby is walking around to each group to introduce himself and have a small chat. He’s only carrying around a water bottle and only has food when AMELIA STERLING generously makes a plate for him. VOLUNTEER TWELVE makes it around the high school volunteers trying to ticket people at the entrances to barge into the event and chants, “VOTE FOR [VOLUNTEER’S CHOICE]! VOTE FOR [VOLUNTEER’S CHOICE]! VOTE FOR [VOLUNTEER’S CHOICE]!”. They’re approached by VOLUNTEER THIRTEEN (Works for the Danby Campaign) and is escorted out of the event. In order to deflect attention away from that VOLUNTEER FOURTEEN (supporter/volunteer for the Danby Campaign) announces that there is still time to buy raffle tickets! They point out the people walking around selling them ($5 for 5 chances to win!). VOLUNTEER FIFTEEN, in particular, really wants to win and spends $50 dollars on it. TYLER PIRLO thinks this is ridiculous and points out to them that it’s all about chance and someone buying a single ticket might end up winning it. In the end VOLUNTEER SEVENTEEN and VOLUNTEER EIGHTEEN’s tickets are pulled for each of the two baskets up for grabs. VOLUNTEER NINETEEN wants to buy posters and stickers and all the Danby ‘16 merchandise they can find so that they can plaster it everywhere and tells the campaign workers & volunteers just as much. They leave with Jack Danby folders to give to all their friends for the new school year. As the event wraps up VOLUNTEER TWENTY, who has political interests of their own (but not quite enough to run for Mayor, yet), finally plucks up the courage to ask Jack Danby what kind of people he would be looking for on his council. And if they’d make a good fit. |
