Dear GlynnDems:
Because of a medical emergency, we have postponed this Saturday’s Districts 3, 4, and 5 event at the Brunswick Library at 1 p.m.
We will reschedule and will announce the new date on our web site and Facebook.
Thank you for your understanding
Thanks very much to all who attended the June 24 GlynnDems community meeting, and to Lisa Ring, chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia’s 1st Congressional District, for being our keynote speaker. Lots of great questions and answers. Ring said she hopes that the large field of Democratic primary candidates avoids the divisiveness that could weaken the eventual presidential candidate.
We’ve got work to do, in the run-up to the 2020 elections, but we can do it. Join us, for next month’s meeting and buy your tickets to the Annual Banquet, Aug. 24. Details here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/2019-annual-dinner
NEXT MEETING
Monday, July 22, 6:30 p.m.
Miller Building
First United Methodist Church, 1400 Norwich St., Brunswick GA.
Thank you to newly appointed Glynn County Board of Elections Supervisor, Christopher Channell, and to all of the District 2 Dems, for attending the June meeting! In a non-partisan info session and Q&A, we learned so much about plans for the 2020 Elections, the new Ballot Marking Device voting machines, and voting security. Glynn County seems organized and ready. We look forward to seeing it all in action. Glynn County Board of Elections
Evan Young of Glynn Academy has been awarded the annual Young Democrat Scholarship for a Glynn Academy student by the Glynn County Democratic Committee.
Young graduated in May with a 3.91 GPA. He won the $500 award with his essay about engaging with political campaigns in 2016 by creating effective social media posts and attending political and community events.
Along with his excellent academic record, Evan also was a keystone performer and technician for the GA Players, Glynn Academy’s drama group. He also has performed for The Island Players in their children’s program and one adult show.
Evan has experience in graphic design and social media. He was closely involved in Julie Jordan’s campaign for State Legislature in 2018.
In a letter recommending Evan for the scholarship, one mentor wrote: “I have never seen a high school student who is filled with so much drive. I know with his commitment, drive and passion, he will further develop his talents and make a name for himself wherever life takes him.”
Evan will attend Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, N.Y., in the fall.
Earlier this year GlynnDems awarded the scholarship for Brunswick High School to Damaria Gurley, who will attend Fort Valley State University in the fall.
Join Democrats from the 17 counties that make up the First Congressional District on May 18 from 1-4 p.m.
