EL RENO, Okla. – Obama for America State Director Miguel Medrano will be the guest speaker at the Canadian County Democrats’ monthly meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 14. Seating is available for Democrats and friends on a first come, first served basis for the free meeting at Canadian Valley Technology Center, located at 6506 E. Highway 66 between Yukon and El Reno.
Medrano returned recently from national campaign training, which focused on grassroots strategies, such as registering voters and involving young people in the political process.
“The Obama campaign considers Oklahoma important in the success of the 270 Plan, which refers to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency, “ Medrano said.
“I’m going to urge everyone at the Canadian County Democrats’ meeting to separate facts from misinformation and then advocate with passion and courage for the re-election of President Obama.”
Medrano will also discuss training opportunities for those “who want to make their voices heard.”
The Canadian County Democrats meet at 7 p.m. on the second Tues. of each month (except Dec.) at Canadian Valley Technology Center. For more information, call 354-3189.

The Canadian County Democrats had a fantastic time at our Holiday Tailgate Celebration and Silent Auction (alias the "Bedlam Party.") If you missed it, you missed a lot -- like Shirley Burton setting up the silent auction, Glenn and Janie Hightower dancing to the Bean Supper Band, Bruce Fraker tending bar, Jerri Edwards decorating all the tables, and Rodney Boegel and the BS Band equally entertaining happy OSU and sad OU fans. Thank you so much – as Rodney said in an early email – to everyone who donated, volunteered, entertained or helped in any way to make this special event a success.
Caption (from left): Canadian County Democrat's own Bean Supper Band Tim O'Connor, Worth Lambert, Joey Larsen, Rodney Boegel and Tim Wagner. Not shown: Rene Sims, Jeff Boydston and Ron Marlett.
Funds raised at the Christmas Party are dedicated to our annual scholarships. Although we had a great time, we still need $261 to fund one more $500 scholarship. If you were not able to attend, but want to help us fund the scholarship, we would appreciate your help no matter how big or small. It all adds up. Donations may be mailed to: CC Dems Scholarship, 426 Poplar Avenue, Yukon, OK, 73099.
Best holiday wishes to all our Democrat friends and neighbors. Please put the first 2012 meeting on your calendar now. It’s Tues, Jan. 10, at 7 p.m. at Canadian Valley Tech Center, 6505 E. Highway 66 between Yukon and El Reno. |
