September Meeting
DDTC September meeting was held on Thursday, the 22nd via zoom.
We chose to continue with zoom this month as we discussed finances. Next months meeting will likely be in person but stay tuned.
A speaker from Swing Left addressed the group. Swing Left sends post cards to voter in swing states.
Beth Kontos talked to us about the Fair Share Amendment on the ballot in November.
We decided to donate up to $1,000 to candidates. Half was donated to our strongest supporters, Sally and Joan. The remaining half was donated to state candidates and to the DNC in varying amounts.
We discussed doing a stand out to support Democrats down the ballot. The date will be October 10. A follow up meeting was scheduled for the next Tuesday to finalize details.
Marilyn passed on the concern from the Town Clerk as follows:
Election Day signs
Cathy Ellsworth, Town Clerk, has sent a letter to both the Republican and Democratic Town Committees to remind the membership who volunteer for campaigns that signs at polling places are to be attended at all times and, therefore, not left on the ground according to town ordinance. Also, they are not to be placed on public lands. They may only be placed on private property with permission of the owner. I am sure that we all abide by the town ordinance, but, a reminder never hurts.
