The Saturday luncheon meeting included review of election goals, recruitment of precinct delegates, and group discussions, by precinct, of organizational and campaign activities. It was agreed that community canvassing will continue this year in an effort to listen to the concerns of all Benzie County voters and identify people who are interested in Democratic Party activities at the local level. As many residents as possible will be canvassed throughout the county during the coming months. To volunteer for this effort, contact precinct delegate coordinator Dick Robb, who can put you in touch with your precinct captain. The meeting was organized by Robb, and this year’s campaign coordinator, Ray Nichols. Carroll Volpe will be the campaign office coordinator. The event was photographed by Gordon Kells.
