Sustaining Funds Needed by May 20th
We will be calling all precinct chairs in the days ahead to thank you for your support of your local Democratic Party. But we also will be asking that those precincts who have not paid their dues to us do so by May 20th. Since the March meetings, we have spent $700 on the county convention (printing materials, mailings, food, rental of space, etc.) and a whopping $1,260.00 on welcome postcards to newly registered voters in your precincts! Also, we will need money to add phone lines for the busy Summer ahead and the printing needs continue as we try to get the word out to voters. As you can see, the money you give comes directly back to you. We will never demand that you pay the $150.00 in full but hope you will give as generously as you are able. Thanks to all our great precinct chairs!
