From the Osceola Democratic Executive Committee (DEC) Chair
We had another busy month growing and building our party in Osceola. 

Please be sure to attend our next DEC meeting on August 22 at 6:45 pm. 

Agenda this month:

1. Get ready for 2020!  We will be providing precinct captain training for our members.  This will include tips and tools for how to run your precincts as a Captain or support the Captain in your area. 
 
2. Election of delegates for the Florida convention. Please fill out the form and bring a check for $60 if you would like to be part of our delegation.

Location: St. John's Episcopal Church Hall at 1709 N. John Young Parkway on the corner of Columbia Ave. 

Looking forward to seeing you then!

The 2019 Florida Democratic State Convention will be held at Disney's Coronado Springs from October 11-13.

If you'd like to join our Osceola convention delegation, please submit your delegate filing form to swc@osceolademocrats.com by August 22, 2019 or bring it to the meeting for the election at our August 22 Osceola Dems meeting and submit your $60 delegate fee ($25 for students) upon election.
