Ten Things to Know …
There’s a lot to know about what’s happening here for DEMs here in Carroll County.
1. Seventy people gathered on Monday night March 11 for the monthly forum offered by the Greater Ossipee DEMs to listen to Mr. Andru Volinsky speak about Education Funding & Property Taxes. People came from 10 different towns! Next up: Sen. Dan Feltes will be at Hobbs on April 8th to talk about, “Paid Family Leave: Why Is It So Hard?” Learn more at: Greater Ossipee DEMs on Facebook
2. The Valley DEMs switched their meeting time from tonight to March 20th at 6 pm. There is an email list that exists for people who want to know what’s going on with the Valley DEMs (made up of DEMs from towns around Conway). If you live in or around Conway, this regional group is good for connecting and learning and advocating. Learn more at: Valley DEMs on Facebook
3. Of the 19 towns in Carroll County, ten of them have already had their DEM town caucuses. The other nine will be completed by the end of March.
