7th District Democratic Congressional Convention — This convention is scheduled for Saturday, April 28. Orange County has been allocated nine delegates and two alternates. There is a pre-filing deadline and other rules. We can discuss these concerns at the meeting.
Orange County Committee meeting dates — Here are the future meeting dates: March 31, April 23, May 19 and June 23. The March meeting will have to be in Orange County Library, 143 North Madison Road, due to the Community Room not being available in March.
Spring Event — We need to plan a spring fundraising event to raise money to meet our coming needs. Wayne Garnett suggested Wednesday, April 18. This needs to be discussed at our meeting.
Piedmont District Meeting — Suzanne Long, chairman of the Madison Committee, has arranged for the first meeting in George James Community Center, located Route 230 in Radiant on Saturday, March 10 at 9 a.m. A buffet breakfast will be available for $10.
