Outreach and Connection
The Crawford County Democrats’ Outreach Committee (Jackson Bertoncino, Lynn Grant, Janice Arthur, Ruth Miller and Harriet Bachner) have explored various ways to reach out and serve our communities in Crawford County.
For example, pies for Pi Day, (3.14) on March 14 was a successful event this past month held at our headquarters. The Liberal Ladies and other CCDems donated homemade and bakery made pies. It was difficult to keep track of the number of pies donated because as pies were sold more pies continued to arrive. Every pie was sold either as a whole pie or as pie slices. Along with enjoying a slice of pie folks had an opportunity to meet, chat, and admire the variety of fruit, custard, pecan, sweet potato, and pumpkin pies. We can make this an annual March 14 event with the delicious pies from our folks.
Now that we enjoy the pleasant spring weather, the Outreach Committee is also planning ways the CCD will participate in outdoor community events.
April 15, 4:00 to 6:00 pm at Memorial Auditorium – Salad and dessert dinner and fundraiser.
April 20, 11:00am to 3:00pm – CCDems will have a table for Earth Day commemoration and need volunteers to help.
April 26, 5:00pm – Art Walk – CCDems will have a table with supplies to make painted rocks and need volunteers to help. Contact jacksonbertoncino@gmail.com if you can help at either of these events.
Please let Harriet Bachner (harrietanne7@gmail.com) or Lynn Grant (lynng7841@gmail.com) know what kind of salad or dessert that you can bring to the April 15 event. Deliver the salads and desserts to Memorial. Auditorium at 3:30 so that we set up for the dinner. The price is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for children under 12. To go boxes are available for a meal.
