Local Democrats To Meet at Museum

The September Newaygo County Democratic Party meeting will be held on Monday, September 11 at the Newaygo County Heritage Museum. Guests and members can arrive at 6pm to participate in the new Open Forum Time, share snacks, and enjoy meeting with others who share Democratic positions. For those who wish, they can stay for the formal NCDP meeting which will begin at 6:30pm.

 “The Open Forum is a new and exciting way for people to raise concerns important to them,” states Nancy Howland-Walker of the Newaygo County Democratic Party Organizing Committee. “We discuss issues, then decide on any actions needed together. Those actions could involve writing persuasive letters to the editor, arranging to meet with local representatives, or lending support to causes that are close to our community.”

The Organizing Committee is one of three active committees in the local Democratic Party. The others are Communications and Fundraising. All committees welcome interested community members to share their skills and interests in these areas to help promote Democratic positions in the county.

“The Organizing Committee was created to better connect with and involve our wider community. Our goal is to make sure that our local Democratic membership is inclusive, so we can address the issues and concerns that impact all of us,” added Ms. Walker.  “Come to the next meeting, and let us hear from you!”

The Newaygo County Heritage Museum is located at 12 Quarterline Street in Newaygo. Use the west side back entrance to enter at 6pm for the Open Forum, with the official meeting starting at 6:30pm. Virtual attendance is an option, and you can email to request the Zoom Link on the meeting day at [email protected]
