Hello GWCDP,
The historic site of Cokesbury College is now managed by state legislative nominations and a gubernatorial appointment of commissioners. They manage the operations of the College for weddings, anniversaries, Christmas parties, etc. The College is booked predominantly year round and is open during the summer months for tours, which are conducted by a commissioner each Sunday from 2-5 PM.
This historic backdrop will play host to the first Democratic and Republican Candidate Forum. All candidates running for election on November 6th, 2018, or any elected officials wishing to come have a word or just mingle are invited to come join us. Candidates will have ten minutes to introduce or reintroduce themselves and share his/her platform.

The date and time for this event is scheduled for:
September 13, 2018
5:30 – 7:30 PM
This will be a great opportunity for candidates from both sides to be heard, so I am inviting all Democrats from Greenwood and the surrounding areas. Dress comfortably, as this event is slated for outdoors. Bring your own seating if you like. Come on out and mingle with friends and the candidates! Hot dogs and burgers will be available for purchase.
With Deepest Regard,
Charles Lewis

This message is specifically for leaders across Greenwood County’s 50 voting precincts. If you have either volunteered to be a Precinct Leader or have been identified as someone who could be a point of contact within your precinct, please attend this meeting.

The slate of Democratic Candidates have been set for November and we need to be organized to help them out! Many of you have been actively working all year, volunteering at fundraisers, holding Precinct meetings, and showing up to support candidates as they’ve come through Greenwood.

But if you’ve been on the sidelines so far, now would be the perfect time to get involved! Greenwood is a large county, but through divide-and-conquer we can help spread the word about our candidates, our principles, our desire to make the world a better place. The precinct is where this battle will be fought and won!

Items on Monday’s Agenda:

Solicit precinct reports from any who have updates

Discuss how to combine our precincts into 4 groups for the purpose of hosting events for candidates

Review a timetable for hosting events for candidates

Hope to see you there!
