Northern Beef Packers, SDDP, champagne and chocolate scheduled for BCDs

Because of family business, we are a bit behind in getting out communications for the Brown County Democrats through our usual channels, so we post the schedule of coming events here.

MONDAY, FEB. 19: The monthly meeting, which would normally meet Thursday evening, Feb. 22, is being moved up to Monday, Feb. 19. A Chamber of Commerce banquet conflicts with the Thursday schedule. We will meet Monday, the 19th, at 7 p.m. in the meeting rooms of the Brown County Courthouse. Dennis Helwig of Northern Beef Packers will speak and answer questions on the packing plant being constructed a mile south of town.

Friday, Feb. 23: Dollar-A-Month Club, 11:30 - 1 p.m. What is going on with the South Dakota Democratic Party? Our own Deb Knecht, the newly elected vice president of the state party, will give us the lastest information and her perspective on changes taking place in the party. Here is a chance to get the lowdown.

Sunday, Feb. 25: Shake off the midwinter freeze at Champagne and Chocolate Sunday Afternoon, 2 p.m. at the new Alonzo's (former First Ave. Grill) across the street from the Courthouse. This is the first in our fundraising activities as we begin to rebuild our coffers for the 2008 election.
