Jerry Meek on the Sanford Hunt Dinner |
|
Aug 28, 2007 - On Saturday, August 25th, approximately 500 members plus guests attended the year’s second meeting of the State Executive Committee. Resolutions were debated and approved, and many of our candidates for statewide office were on hand to give rousing ovations. The meeting followed a morning of training seminars – attended by hundreds of Democratic activists – on such topics as faith outreach, communications, and election law. Later, over 600 people crowded into the Sanford-Hunt Dinner. We heard tributes from Speaker Dan Blue, Justice Willis Whichard, Secretary Betty McCain, Ed Turlington, Commissioner Carolyn Coleman, and Sen. Robert Morgan. And Governor Hunt urged us to work at the grassroots, building our party precinct by precinct. In only its second year, the Sanford-Hunt Dinner has become the State Party’s most profitable fundraising event.
Thanks to everyone who made Saturday so spectacular. Next year’s Sanford-Hunt Dinner will be held in conjunction with the 2008 State Convention. All of the events will be held in New Bern, the weekend of June 20-22, 2008. Make plans to be there!
