The date for the Twelfth Annual Carnell Drummond Dinner has been set! Mark Tuesday, October 22nd on your calendar. This is our largest fundraiser of the year and a way to pay tribute to two great statesmen who happened to be Democrats: Representative Marion Carnell and Senator John Drummond. They left their mark on this part of the upstate in the areas of economic expansion and education and in too many other ways to name. (For more information on Rep Carnell and Senator Drummond, see the Carnell and Drummond tab at the top of the screen.)Funds raised from this event will go to securing a headquarters to help candidates and voters during the 2020 election. So come out and enjoy some great food and fabulous company in an enchanted atmosphere, all for a good cause! Speakers to be announced, so stay tuned.

We are incredibly excited to announce that our speaker will be Representative Chandra Dillard from District 23 (Greenville). “Rep. Chandra Dillard is Director of Community Relations for Furman University. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Winthrop University and a Masters in Public Administration from Walden University.
