Old Business:
The Ohio Democratic County Chair Association meeting—Ramona reports that
our bylaws are sufficient, but we are lacking Central Committee candidates.
Caleb Moulton will be working with Ramona to fulfil certain things we must
do to avoid paying dues to the ODP this year. Mark S. moved that we
authorize Ramona to do this, Margaret Y. seconded, motion passed.
Holmes County Fair—All our volunteer slots were filled and there was a lot
of interest in the quiz. We need to choose different questions for the quiz
next year since everyone has answered them so many times. The new
electronic passes for the fair ended up costing more but worked great.
Campaign signs are available, and we sold $25 worth during the fair.
Solar light project—Work is ongoing.
Looking for Headquarters for this September/October: We discussed a couple
of possible locations, none very promising. Jim N. doesn’t feel that it
would be worth the cost to do this. Greg and Ramona will explore the
possibility of putting up billboards. We could raise funds to cover these,
at meetings or via email or the Facebook group.
New Business:
We discussed phone banking, door knocking, and sending postcards. We have
postcards with the judges on them. Postcards can be picked up from Ramona,
and there will be at least one get-together at Margaret’s house to write
postcards together.
