Each winter, the McLean County Democrats host an event honoring Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. 

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States, architect of the New Deal and Commander-in-Chief during World War II. Eleanor Roosevelt was First Lady, first Chair of the United Nations Human Rights Commission, prolific writer, and advocate for democracy, civil rights, and social justice. 

At the Honoring the Roosevelts Dinner, we honor a member of the McLean County Democrats who has provided outstanding service to our local Party.
