Oxford County Democrats

The Oxford County Democrats will meet on Sunday, Dec 6, at the Crescent Park School on Crescent Lane in Bethel. There will be a training for Caucus Convenors from 2 to 3:15, a Healthcare Organizing seminar from 2 to 3:15,  followed by a County Democrats meeting, from 3:30-5, open to all who are interested in electing Democrats. The agenda will include time for candidate remarks, updates from field organizers, filling vacancies on convention committees, and planning for the 2010 campaign.

The Oxford County Democrats recently lost a true friend and tremendous volunteer, Rich Plante, to cancer. Rich was instrumental in the election of Rep. Sheryl Briggs in the 2007 special election, driving to doors daily. His work also included reorganizing the Mexico Democratic Committee and in assisting with video projects. County Chair Cathy Newell stated, “Basically Rich was always there to help and he will be greatly missed.” The Oxford County Democrats made a donation in Rich’s memory to the Meroby School, 21 Cross St, Mexico 04257, where Rich taught for many years.

The 2010 Maine Democratic Caucus Meetings will be held on Sunday, January 31, between the hours of 1:00 and 8:00 PM at locations throughout Oxford County. Nearly all towns have a designated caucus convenor, with the goal of covering all the towns prior to the scheduled training in December. Oxford County Democrats’ Treasurer Roy Gedat stated, “The caucus meetings, even in a non-Presidential year, are vital to the organization of our party. We will be working hard on ways to make the meetings productive in advancing issues, helping our candidates, as well as conducting the essential business of the caucus.”
