Towns County Dems HQ Open House
May 11 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm EDT
Towns County Democrats will hold an open house at their 2024 Election Headquarters on Saturday, May 11, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and all are invited to come out and celebrate the opening of the headquarters office. The Democrats’ office, which will be open through December, is located at 2494 Highway 76 West, just outside Hiawassee. Regular office hours will be 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
County Chair Charlotte Sleczkowski invites all friends of the local party to celebrate the opening of the office, for which a ribbon cutting will be held with the Chamber of Commerce on Thursday. Light refreshments will be served at the open house.
The office space includes Democratic platform information, voter registration information, a lending library, information on state and federal candidates — as well as yard signs, stickers, and buttons — and a meeting room for the local party’s monthly meetings, including the May meeting on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. after the ribbon cutting at 4:30 p.m.
“The new office offers us greater visibility and a wider degree of use,” said Sleczkowski. “During the 2020 presidential election cycle we were excited to put our name out there and meet new friends every week. We hope the community will see us as an election resource for the remainder of this year.”
At the May 9 5:30 meeting, Towns Democrats will be choosing members for the party’s county executive committee which serves in an advisory capacity to the executive board and works to promote development of the local party. The executive committee also elects the county officers.
Towns Democrats recently conducted voter registration at Towns County High School, participated in the Ninth Congressional District Democratic Caucus in Sautee Nacoochee to elect delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer, and was recognized at the Ninth Congressional District Democratic Leadership meeting in Ivy Log.
Towns Democrats meet the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at the party headquarters.
