[PenDems (155)] PenDemorandum for September 2

 PenDemorandum 

NEW WEBSITE
Pennington County has now joined Beadle, Brookings,
Custer, Hamlin, Hughes, Stanley, Lawrence and Meade County
Democrats with our very own page on the brand-new
South Dakota Democratic Party website at 
http://sddp.org

The new site looks great and will allow our counties to
work together better. You should also see our Pendemorandums
(Pendemoranda?) look nicer and bounce less!

Please be patient while we move our calendar and info pages
(http://pendem.org) to new digs!

WITH APPRECIATION
Thank you to all the volunteers who staffed the booth at the
Central States Fair.  Once again, we showed the voters of
western South Dakota that we are friendly, reasonable people
who are interested in their concerns.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

The office on St. Patrick street needs a fall house cleaning. 
We need 2 - 3 people who can donate a morning or afternoon
this week and don't mind getting a little dusty.  We will be sorting
and organizing the 'stuff' we need for events, etc. 
Contact Karen Hall or Jeff Nelsen at 348-4626 to volunteer.

If your campaign / issue group left material at the CSF booth and
would like it back, please let Jeff Nelsen know and we will get it to you. 
The cleaning process will purge any left over material!

Thank you all for your help.

COUNTY PARTY OFFICERS TO ATTEND STATE MEETING
The SDDP Central Committee is meeting in Huron this weekend to review
recommended revisions to the state party constitution. According to
State Party Chair Cheryl Chapman, "the changes are designed to make
us more competitive as a nimble, transparent organization, which attracts
volunteers, candidates—and most importantly—voters to our side of the ticket."
The proposed revision package was assembled by an ad-hoc committee
and included participation from PenDems Suzanne Martley,
Sarge Preston
and Linda Lea Viken.
