WHAT'S IN A HAPPY NEW YEAR?
A SENSE OF RENEWAL IN OUR RESOLVE
TO BELIEVE, SPEAK, AND ACT LIKE A DEMOCRAT!
FR TEAM (FUNDRAISING TEAM) REPORT: BLUE APPLE CONTRIBUTIONS continue to come in regularly. THANK YOU!
A display and brochures are available on the desk at HQ; a full brochure and sign up capability are on our website. Our team and Cathy Fisher, our treasurer, stand ready to assist if you have questions. The BAC drive will be at full speed in January and February so we can succeed in building a healthy monthly income for the full year 2016 to accomplish our goals! Spread the word, share the responsibility, give what works for you, and know it's perfect!
COMING IN JANUARY!
JAN 2 – OUR BREAKFAST 9-11 WILL HAVE A SPEAKER AT 11! Melinda Lowrance, Pres. of our local NAACP will speak on “Why women of color Need the ERA” (Equal Rights Amendment–NC still has not ratified this law and we need three more states). Come hear this amazing woman’s perspective and strength of conviction. Lee Luebbe will host and introduce Melinda.
JAN 8 – The Board will meet from 10-12 on the same day as the CEC mtg. at 3:30. The usual day, Jan 1, is reserved for FOOTBALL!
JAN 18 – MLK DAY BREAKFAST AT Blue Ridge Community College starting at 8 am is one of the outstanding highlights of the year in Hendersonville. If you have never attended, put it on your calendar NOW! Watch for further details and for Madeline Royes to be selling tickets at the CEC meeting. Tickets also will be available at the door. Meet new people, and enjoy wonderful entertainment and tributes to Martin Luther King.
JAN 22 AND 27 – At 7 pm, come see the film "CITIZENS UNITED" shown by Princess Ferguson at HCDP Headquarters. There’ll be time for interesting discussion after the film...some coffee and popcorn, too. Suggested love offering $3.
SPECIFIC HELP NEEDED FOR A NEW PROJECT – Lenore Barnett who is heading up the creation of a new Event Location Directory, would like to hear from volunteers wishing to help. We have a one-page location information sheet to fill out for each location we visit. And we are interested in having at least two locations in each outlying municipality so we can move around the County. There are numerous sites in Hendersonville proper to explore. If you want to help, please call Lenore at 696-3132.
HAVE YOU FILLED OUT YOUR VIA? PLEASE DO! (And thanks to the many volunteers we already have working in many areas!) Find the Volunteer in Action Interest Profile in a blue file in a box on the desk at HQ; put your completed form in the red folder where it will be shared with leaders whose areas you checked. Precinct work, election work, phoning, 2-hour office duty, are just a few of the important "job openings" we have currently! Do the "Profile" and call Nancy at 606-5201. (Nancy will be away until Jan 19).
SHARING ENCOURAGEMENT – Send out your good vibes to those among us who are experiencing challenges ... when one or more of the family is down for one reason or another, let us know how we can help as needed and support you! Gayle Kemp sends cards out from HCDP also!
