_________________________________________________________
As of October 15, 2024, and with less than 22 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!

Tonight! Bras For The Cause!
 
Each year we sponsor Bras For The Cause (B4TC). Their annual unveiling event is tonight
from 6p – 8:30p in downtown Greenville. Stroll around downtown and view the
various creations. Exhibitions are located at The Texan Theater, Uptown
Forum, Hunt County Tax Office and Landon’s Winery. Then at 9p be at the Texan
Theater for the awards presentation.
 
 
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.
 
 
Allred vs Cruz, the Senatorial Debate of the Century!
 
Join us on
Tuesday, October 15 at 6:30pm at the UAW Hall for a debate watch party. We’ll
do potluck again and the event is BYOB. We’ll furnish water and goodies.
Bring sandwiches or your favorite dish. If you haven’t been to one of these
events you don’t know what you’re missing. We sit around and visit and then
things get real serious once the debate starts. We’ll cheer for Colin and get disgusted by
Cancun Cruz. Come on out and join the fun!
 
This Is A Big One!
 
Our very own Kristen Washington will celebrate her birthday at 4pm on Sunday, October 20.
Marianne Roberts will host a birthday party in her home for Kristen and you
are all invited. Kristen’s favorite food is enchiladas and Marianne is asking
who among our folks excels in enchilada manufacturing and will commit to
bringing some for the party? Kristen’s favorite is beef, but she likes all of
them. Contact Marianne at 214-802-3402 if you can help out. Marianne will
furnish all the fixings. You may BYOB. Marianne’s address is 7388 Circle
View, Lone Oak, 75453 and is located on the shore of beautiful Lake Tawakoni.
 
Let Us Vote! On the 23rd
 
Early voting starts on Monday, October 21 at 8:00am. You may Early Vote at Fletcher Warren
Civic Center in Greenville or in Caddo Mills at the Caddo Mills Independent
School District Administration building. I’m asking you to plan on voting on
Wednesday, the 23rd. You see, this is Kristen’s birthday and all she wants is
your vote for her birthday. Let’s all plan to vote on the 23rd. Get your
friends, family and neighbors to go vote with you then go to lunch to
celebrate the day. We want the 23rd to be the biggest turnout day of all of
Early Voting.
 
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.
 
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.
