Event honors young Democrats

If the price tag for the Chris Dodd fundraiser is too steep for you, consider this one instead.

The Rhode Island Young Democrats will host a fundraiser Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. at Mediterraneo, 134 Atwells Ave., Providence. Admission is $10.

The group will honor 10 young Democrats who “played an instrumental role in the 2006 elections through running campaigns or registering voters or building political power,” according to a release announcing the event.

The recipients are:

•Peter Asen, 25, campaign treasurer for state Rep. David A. Segal

•Lindsey Brickle, 24, campaign manager for Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline

•Jim Cenerini, 33, political organizer for Council 94, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees

•Arianne M. Corrente, consultant for the “Yes on 9” affordable-housing ballot-question campaign

•Xay Khamsyvoravong, 22, campaign manager for General Treasurer Frank T. Caprio

•Meghan Purvis, 27, director of the Voice Your Vote coalition

•Dan Schleifer, 25, organizer for the Rhode Island Right to Vote campaign

•Brett Smiley, 27, campaign manager for Charles J. Fogarty’s campaign for governor
