Precinct Meeting Notification!
 
Hello, Democrats!
 
As many of you know, precinct meetings are held at this time of year.  The dates set for this year are Feb. 26-March 11.  If you would like to organize your precinct, please reply and I will send you the materials that you need. 
 
Initially I was interested in seeing if we could organize all 14 precincts, but upon further thought, I am much more interested in finding Democrats who really want to be involved.  While Precinct Chairs and ViceChairs are members of the Executive Committee, rarely if ever has a Precinct officer participated in the Executive Committee.  What we do need is ACTIVE members of the Executive Committee, active Democrats who want to be engaged in building the Party, and taking action on issues.
 
So here are some opportunities to be involved:
1.    Contact any and all Democrats in your precinct and see who would like to be involved and how.  If you reach people who want to participate, get them together to organize/elect officers who will attend the Executive Committee meetings and be active in the Party.
 
2.    Come to a meeting at 7 pm Tues, Feb 8, to plan a calling and program strategy, offering Democrats a variety of ways to be involved.  Come help with the planning.  Email me if you want to come; I will be notifying everyone Monday about the location.
 
3.    We are planning to put on a public program in March in which Sen. Kinnaird and perhaps Rep. Wilkins (I hope!) will brief us on the situation and issues in the legislature.  We will also be discussing this meeting on Tues.  Come and help put on this program!
 
Organizing precincts is important if we're using it as a way to reach Democrats and offer them something---opportunities to be involved in issues they care about.  Please consider how you can also participate!!!
 
Thank you!
