Just got back

from the monthly meeting.....not much of a crowd tonight but a very enthusiastic group...

got pictures from the Wisconsin Rapids Open house that I hope to have up online tomorrow sometime...

Had a couple of great presentations....one on "The Sojourners" which I found absolutely fascinating....

Officers were nominated....we're losing Tom who is moving out of the area in a very short while...boy ....are we going to miss him...(I think he's a genius)...

I hope to also have pictures of our TWO NOMINEES FOR THE "LOCAL ACTIVIST AWARD" for the State Eleanor Roosevelt Awards. In case I forgot to mention it, we had two from our Wood County Delegation out of the 12 total nominees from the whole state. The two nominees were:


Linda Melski...who was our office manager in Marshfield for the '04 elections and who is deeply involved in the FAIR Wisconsin movement, the Vruwink campaign and still a hardcore party supporter...oh yeah, did I mention that she pioneered the FIRST county-wide data base for local democrats?

Lois Greehling...who is our present office manager...also involved with FAIR...tremendous efforts to recruit, train and inspire volunteers..leads a progressive woman's bookclub, updates data bases and puts in countless volunteer hours, co-chairs the County Party's Membership committee. She's the "den mother" of the North Wood County Democrats....
