News Stories about the Cumberland County Democrats
-
This fall we had three great events that many
people enjoyed. The "roast" of Bob Mitchell, the float in the Christmas
Parade, and the Christmas Party Dinner. Our Democratic Women organized the
roast and the dinner and did a tremendous job as always. Over 150 people
attended the roast and the stories about Bob over the years had the audience
rolling in the aisles. It was all in great fun and helped the Democratic
Women build their treasury.

The Christmas parade float had a "green"
theme with a giant earth ball and a salute to Nobel Prize winner Al Gore, our
former Congressman. There were also signs reminder folks of other core
Democratic values like Health Care, Quality Schools, and Justice and Fairness.
Great exposure!
We capped off the year
with the annual Christmas Party of the Democrat Women. At that time, we
began a new tradition of recognizing Democrats with a long history of
contribution to the party as members of an Honor Circle. This year's
honorees were Bob Mitchell, Martha Packard, Clyde Ussery, Burrell Harris and
Bettye Elmore. The Democratic Women also installed new officers for the
coming year: Nikki Fitchko, President; Sandy Graham, 1st Vice President;
Cathie Fugiel, 2nd Vice President; Donna Smith, 3nd Vice President; Peggy
Hall, Secretary; and Joy Rose, Treasurer.
