VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE COUNTY CONVENTION
Non-Delegates/Alternates as well as Delegates/Alternates

Our next Whitman County Democrats meeting is March 12,
6:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Holiday Inn Express in Pullman.
We will be organizing for the County Convention.

We will need many volunteers to make the convention run smoothly.
Please read through the descriptions of opportunities and let us know
if you can help, particularly if you cannot make it to the March 12
meeting. Tell a friend, since not all Dems are on the e-mail list.

If you have any questions about any of the volunteer opportunities or
you would like to volunteer, reply to Nate Horter or e-mail me at
ccress at pullman.com, or call 334-0999.

The County Convention will be held April 19.  Sign-in will begin at
9:00am and deliberations at 9:30 am.

1. We will need non-delegates and non-alternates to volunteer for the
CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE.  This group is charged with handling sign-in,
counting the delegates, reporting the numbers of delegates and
alternates to the Chair.

2. The RULES COMMITTEE will draft proposed rules and a proposed agenda
for the conduct of the convention. The rules need to be mailed to the
delegates and alternatives at least ten days before the convention. The
State Party has provided a sample agenda and rules which only need to be
tweeked for our needs.

3. The RESOLUTIONS and PLATFORM COMMITTEE needs to meet to consider
platform issues and resolutions submitted at the caucuses and on the
internet or by mail.  Because these materials need to be sent out by
e-mail or US Mail ten days before the convention,  this group will need
to meet this month.

4. The HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE will gather the coffee, donuts, etc. for
this morning meeting. Because we’re preparing for 300 people, this may
require a trip to Costco.
