Parking & Arrival
Given the volume of attendees, we will be opening the doors at 4:15 pm on Saturday (Morris Chapel Baptist Church, 530 Baptist Ave, Greenwood, SC 29646). Our program will begin promptly at 5 pm, so the earlier you can arrive, the better.
There will be three parking areas available:
- Morris Chapel Baptist Church
- Parks Funeral Home (across the street from Morris Chapel)
- Tabernacle Baptist Church (one block down from Morris Chapel)
If you are in good health and capable of walking, we ask you to consider parking at one of the alternate spots to make room for those less able. Handicapped parking is available at Morris Chapel and is marked.
Dress code is semi-formal.

Dr. Annie Andrews will be holding at Meet & Greet at Townes Jones LLC, 116 Court Ave, Greenwood on Saturday from 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm. From there, she will head over to the CDM banquet.
So if you’re not attending the banquet, here is a great opportunity to meet a fantastic US Senate candidate. Dr. Andrews is especially interested in speaking with independents and Republicans who are curious about her positions on any issue.

Wanda Moore Community Service Award Nominations Open
Nominations are now open for the 2026 Wanda Moore Community Servant Award to be given at the upcoming Carnell Drummond Mays banquet.
Wanda Moore (1960-2022) was the first Community Care Movement Director of the Greenwood County Democratic Party. She spent countless hours organizing and participating in community service activities. She was a true servant of the people, never seeking recognition for her hard work.
In that spirit, in 2022 we launched the first Wanda Moore Community Service Award to recognize one who demonstrates service and education to the community. This is an individual who does not regularly make the newspapers or receives awards for their work. However, their contributions to the neighborhoods of Greenwood County are well known.
Submit your nomination by Sat, July 25!
