The First Meeting

Several Young Democrats before the meeting

Everyone! 

During the first Young Democrats meeting, we chose our president, vice president, and treasurer. We also discussed future plans, such as the Kick-off Rally and service project ideas. Overall, it was a great evening. Thank you to everyone who came out and made the first meeting so successful. We hope to see even more people at the next!

In the News: Rebirth Sought for Young Surry Democrats

As part of this, a Young Democrats rally is planned on March 26 in Dobson, featuring a scheduled appearance by North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall. Other guest speakers are to be part of the event along with live music and hot dogs, according to Ric Marshall, who is spearheading the Surry Young Democrats’ resurrection.

'It’s for young Democrats, but we need everyone to come out...'"
