Democratic Women of NC - Region 2

05/05/2013

Region 2 held a very enjoyable and productive meeting today at Granny's Country Kitchen in Icard. We had a terrific group of good Democratic women in attendance who had lively discussions about how to get more women involved and how to counter the Republicans in this state, especially in western NC. Betsy Wells also presented an exciting preview of the DWNC State Convention, which will be held in Shelby this coming September.
Last but clearly not least, we elected new regional officers. They are: Laura Cummings of Cleveland County, director; Ann Robiinson of Burke County, deputy director; and Kym Stewart of Mitchell County, secretary. I am certain all of you will serve us well.

Reminder about the DW Region 2 meeting this coming Saturday, May 4th, in Icard.
This meeting will be held held at Granny's Country Kitchen, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Granny's is located right off I-40 at exit 116 in Icard, across the street from McDonalds.

Please pass along this information to the members of your DW chapter. We'd like as many people there as possible.

We'll be electing new regional officers, sharing information, discussing how we can work collaboratively for the very important upcoming 2014 elections, and exploring how we might help adjoining counties which don't yet have organized chapters.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
