Upcoming Events and Volunteer Opportunities

_________________________________________________________
As of October 28, 2024, and with less than 10 days until Election Day November 5, 2024, we have many great opportunities for you to participate and volunteer. It goes without saying that we have a lot of work to do.

 Message from the Chair to Hunt County Dems:
 
The clock is ticking rapidly, and we still have a lot to do. It’s only 10 days until the
start of early voting; 25 days until Election Day. There is still so much we
can do to ensure that our candidates get elected. Please read this email
closely as I’ve made some changes and added more information. If you can
help, please contact me. We’ve got 25 days of fun and hard work ahead of us.
We can do this. The new Democrat slogan is DO SOMETHING! or, as my Dad would
say, “Don’t just sit there, DO SOMETHING!” And that’s what we’re
going to do because we’re NOT GOING BACK!

Hunt County Democrats
 
Have you voted yet? The last week of Early Voting starts at 7:00am Monday, October 28. The polls are open from 7:00am until 7:00pm each day with Friday, November 1 being the last day to vote early. I strongly encourage you to vote early as large crowds are expected at most locations on Election Day. Early Voting is being conducted at the Fletcher Warren Civic Center and Caddo Mills ISD Administration building on Main Street north of Caddo Mills. You may vote at either location.
 
Hunt County is number 39 in the number of registered voters per county among the 254 counties in Texas. As of Saturday, October 26, 17,685 Hunt County voters had voted in person or 24.27% of the registered voters. 949 mail ballots had been received by Saturday for a grand total of 18,634 or 25.58% votes cast during the first week.
 
How Can You Help?
 
Contact every Democrat friend or family member and urge them to GO VOTE! Contact Kristen and help by doing phone calls for her. Take a candidate’s sign to the polling place and be a poll greeter (be sure to stay outside the 100-foot marker). There’s something for everyone.
 
Election Day November 5
 
What more can I say about November 5? If you weren’t able to vote early, please vote on Tuesday, November 5. Go to your precinct polling place. Polls will be open 7am – 7pm that day. You will need your Texas driver’s license or identification card. You do not need a voter registration card.
The card does give you your Precinct number for knowing where to vote.
 
Election Watch Party
 
We will gather at the UAW Hall at 6:30pm to await the results of the election and celebrate Kristen’s campaign and all of you who had a hand in it. Results will start coming in shortly after 7pm. We’ll be serving Frito Chili Pie and more. Feel free to bring something if you’d like, and you may BYOB. I know our Election Workers will be exhausted after a 14 hour day, but come by the Hall; we’ll have dinner waiting for you.
 
November Meeting
 
Our November meeting is on November 7, two days after Election Day. We’ll review election results and celebrate our candidate’s victories. More soon.
 
December Meeting and Coat Drive
 
Our final meeting of the year and certainly the most fun one will be on December 5. This is when we turn in our coats for our annual Coat Drive for the kids at Carver Elementary. I found kids coats on sale at Costco recently and made a purchase. Vice Chair Kathy Giles buys hers during the Black Friday sales. The past two years we’ve donated 100 items. I hope we can hit 200 this year. Thanks to the excitement driven by the Harris – Walz campaign, our numbers have doubled so I expect our coat numbers will double. More on this soon.
 
January Meeting and Project 2026
 
Yes, we’re already planning for 2026. Join us on January 2 for an introduction to our plan, Project 2026.
 
 

 
Signs and Bumper Stickers
 
I have Harris signs and stickers and Allred signs available. We’re asking that you chip in
$10.00 for each sign and $3.00 for each sticker, if you can. Signs and
stickers are available at my shop, 2401 Houston St, east of downtown
Greenville, or at our upcoming events. This Saturday we’ll receive 100
anti-Cruz yard signs that you may want. A Dallas area donor is making them
available to us. I’ll also have them at our upcoming events and we’ll use the
rest at polling places.
 
Help Wanted
Speaking of signs, we need folks to volunteer to help get signs out. We still have a
number of 4×4 signs we need to spread across the county. I had hoped to
deliver the signs for Election Day to Election School, but that didn’t work
out. If you have a place, we can put a 4×4 or yard sign, or if you’re an
Election Worker and willing to help put out signs at your polling place,
please contact me. I’ll have signs for you to pick up at all of our upcoming
events also.
 
 

   
Freedom Fund Banquet
 
Next Thursday, October 17 at 6:00pm the Greenville Chapter of NAACP will host their annual
Freedom Fund Banquet. This is a major fund raising event for the Chapter and
this year’s theme is Making Your Vote Count. This is a semi-formal event and
tickets are $40.00 each. Social hour starts at 6:00pm and the banquet at
7:00pm. Reverend Dr. Lavelle Hendricks will be the keynote speaker. I still
have a few tickets left. Contact me for tickets or more info.
