To my fellow Democrats,
It’s hard to believe that I have been Chair for over a year, we have accomplished a lot during this time period. In 2010 we had a successful Jefferson/Jackson Day Dinner. Support for the Luray Wranglers was strong and we are now official sponsors of the team which will give us good exposure and name recognition at all the home Wrangler games this coming season. Our yard sale at the Luray VFW was also a good event which brought many volunteers together to make everything work. In August last year we kept up our presence at the County Fair and again had the opportunity to meet people from our community. The elections last November were low key but this coming year will prove to be much different.
Although we can be proud of our accomplishments many of you will notice that there are a few things missing from the list that we normally get done. We didn’t participate in the Memorial Day Parade in Shenandoah nor did we participate in the July 4th Parade in Stanley. This prompts me to ponder how we can make 2011 a much greater success. How can we do this?? ACTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS!!
I greatly appreciate and value all of the committee members who have worked hard to make our events happen, and I’m looking forward to new volunteers to join the team. With your help, we can achieve more and have a real impact on our community. Please call me at 540-272-4264 or email me at tomowog@comcast.net if you are willing to donate a little of your time.
What’s up for 2011? What can you do to help? Spread the word!
MONTHLY MEETINGS: Our monthly committee meeting are now being held on the FIRST WEDNESDAY of each month. The meetings are held at the County Courthouse in Luray in the Board of Supervisors room. We begin meet promptly at 7:00 pm, and our meetings usually run a little over an hour.
DUES:Please remit your $10/person dues for 2011 to: Page County Democratic Committee, P.O. Box 248, Luray VA 22835
COMMITTEE POSITIONS: We are under serving ourselves!! We currently have committee chair positions to fill for Districts 2, 3, and 4. This is a big hole that needs to be filled and we can’t be effective unless these positions are filled. The job is one of coordinating phone trees with your district, organizing people to fill volunteer slots for staffing at the County Fair booth, and making sure we have a presence at the polls in November to advocate for our candidates.
ELECTIVE OFFICE: There is a great opportunity for the Democratic committee to nominate candidates for the following positions:
- Board of Supervisor positions will be open for Districts 2, 3, and 4. If you or someone know is interested please give me a call or email me, it’s vital we run candidates in this election cycle. I can be reached at 540-272-4264 or email at: tomowog@comcast.net
