THE ULSTER COUNTY DEMOCRATIC WOMEN would like to sincerely thank Ulster County District Attorney Emmanuel "Manny" Nneji for attending our September meeting last night. Manny spoke eloquently on the need for better services for women in Ulster County in regards to both violent and non-violent crimes, health care and other matters. The UCDW plan to work in conjunction with the Ulster County District Attorney's office and local legislators to improve the critical needs of women in our communities.
