Good Morning,
The Pennington County Democrats have the opportunity for some community service.  We are cleaning up Catron Boulevard from highway 16a to highway 79 Saturday morning at 9.30.  It will be a nice walk, we can start at the top of the hill and work towards 5th street.  If we get enough volunteers, 2 crews can work, one starting at 79 and one at 16A.  We need about 1/2 dozen additional adult volunteers, we currently have 4 committed.  8 - 12 would make light work for all.  If it is raining we can wait until the afternoon.

Please RSVP to my email or cell.
Thanks,

[PenDems (195)] Upcoming Pre convention Caucus

Fellow Democrats:
At McGovern Days this month there will be a pre-convention caucus to vote on recommendations for our constitutional candidates.  We cannot legally nominate for these positions until our state convention in June, but this will give us a chance to meet these folks and get them going before June.  This will also be an excellent chance to participate for those not able to attend the state convention in Sioux Falls.

The county auditor has received 2 nominating petitions for delegates to the State Convention.  Our constitution directs that the remaining delegates be selected by the county eboard.  It is our desire to select those folks who want to attend and be part of the process.

Please reply to the county chair or any of the eboard if you are interested in attending the pre convention caucus at McGovern Days and / or the State Convention in June.

Thank you for commitment to our party,
Jeff Nelsen
Chair
