The monthly meeting of the Franklin County Democrats will be Thursday, August 13 at 6:30 pm at Headquarters on Main Street in Chambersburg. The agenda will include: final picnic preparations, November elections/candidates, and election of a new County Chair. Most of you know that Beth Shupp-George, our current chair has resigned. A replacement will be voted upon to fill her remaining term which expires in 2010.

Per the bylaws, any registered Democrat in the county can be nominated for the position. However, only current committee members can vote. Vice-chair Paul Politis is running for the chair position . If you want to nominate someone, please let me know and make sure you and the candidate are present at the meeting. We will take nominations from the floor. Please remember, only current Franklin County committee members can vote for elected officers of the County Committee. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call Bonnie Overholzer, 717 352-4933.

The executive committee thanks Beth Shupp-George for her leadership and contributions to the local party over the past years and appreciates her willingness to stay active in the party.
