2017 HCDP County Convention
Saturday, April 8
City Operation Center
305 Williams Street, Hendersonville

Registration:  9 am to 10 am
Meeting: 10 am to noon
 
Anyone can attend this convention, but only delegates elected at the precinct meetings can vote for the new slate of officers, resolutions, and changes to the HCDP Constitution.
When you register as delegate to our Henderson County Convention on Saturday, April 8, you will be asked to sign up as one of our 75 delegates to the District 11 Convention in Clyde on Saturday, May 20. Please do so, even if you may not attend, as we will be allotted 75 votes providing we have 75 delegates on our list. If we have fewer delegates on our list, we get fewer votes.

If you are not a delegate to our County Convention or cannot attend our County Convention, you still can be elected as a delegate to the District 11 Convention, even if you are not sure you can attend. Just email Susie Hartsell at susiehartsell@outlook.com by Friday noon, April 7.  Please help us get to our goal of 75 delegates!

HCDP Communications Team Needs Volunteers
 
Due to constant, rapid change in the political environment, the HCDP Communications Team is reaching out for volunteers to help monitor legislation both locally and nationally to help keep members informed and to give them an opportunity to get involved by sending letters, making phone calls, or attending public events. If you are interested in helping, please contact Josh Denton, HCDP Third Vice-Chair for Communications, at 803-747-2358 or email him at joshuadenton@rocketmail.com.

Now is the time to BAC the Henderson County Democratic Party. Please contribute to our Blue Apple Contribution Drive! Click on the ActBlue logo at left to contribute an affordable monthly amount or a one-time gift, or come into HQ and fill out a BAC brochure. Thanks to the 41 contributors who are continuing their monthly pledges or have already given a one-time gift in 2017 - we have reached $10,000.

In 2016, 165 contributors raised $26,000. This is our chief method of raising funds to cover our budget for 2017, and we really need the rest of you to kick in! It takes all of us working together to support Democratic Party efforts to Get Out The Vote! There is no off year in this political scene - please send in your contribution as soon as possible and help us Stand Together and Act Together.
