The Cleveland County Republicans to pull together for an “All In” effort for our campaign to re-gain our government, Monday, June 11th, at the County Administration Building , 311 E. Marion St. , Shelby at 7:00 PM.
This Monday’s meeting will be the first of two “sign up” meetings. August 13th will be the second. During these two meetings we will bring together the people who will run the organizations that ultimately will Get Out The Vote. We will have posted the committee organizations designated to do that throughout the campaign cycle through to Election Day. Some of them will be: running Party Headquarters, County Fair operations, Telephone support, Candidate field support, Poll information activity, Lawn sign processing, and various Fund Raising projects. All Republicans are invited to attend and participate.
The first 25 people who sign up to help will receive a miniature US flag with pedestal with our gratitude.
The Executive Committee meeting will be prior to the public meeting, at 6:00PM, in the Lane Alexander room of the County Admin Building on E. Marion Street
