Democratic Party Meets February 16

The Hendry County Democratic Party will hold its quarterly meeting in LaBelle at Beef O'Brady's, 21 South Lee Street, on Saturday, February 16, at 1 o'clock.  The meeting is open to the public, and all Hendry County Democrats are welcome to attend and participate in discussion; however, only those who have filed notarized documents with the Hendry County Elections Office and statutory members may vote on matters coming up at the meeting.  All those attending may order food and drink off Beef O'Brady's menu.

Items to be discussed include recruiting interested men and women to become precinct committee members also called "precinct captains" wherever there are vacancies in Hendry County's ten election precincts, voter registration -- the Hendry County Democratic Party is registered with the Florida Department of State's Elections Division as a 3rd Party Voter Registration Organization for Hendry County along with Collier, Glades, Lee, and Palm Beach Counties and can hold voter registration drives wherever and whenever deemed necessary -- signing up for Vote By Mail, and most important of all Getting Out The Vote.

Chairman Joe Thomas said an important item to be discussed is a Hendry County Democratic Fundraising Gala in 2019 and whether to partner with any of our neighboring counties. The last one held was in Clewiston; so, tradition would have the next one held in LaBelle.  Mark you calendar now to attend this meeting on May 16 and also get the chance to meet the newly elected officers of the Democratic Women's Club of Hendry County who should be attending after holding their first official meeting following organization earlier in the day.  For information about becoming a Precinct Captain, contact hendrydems@embarqmail.com or call (863)234-8890.
