Waldo County GOP to gather

The Waldo County Republican Committee will be gathering at Mossman Park, in Searsport, on Friday, August 25, beginning at 6 p.m., to have time to connect with each other and have a short meeting at 6:30 p.m., to adopt changes to the county bylaws. Please bring your main course and a side dish or dessert to share.

The only agenda item will be the bylaws and the rest of the time will be reserved for fun and conversations with each other with no one trying to keep us on topic or on a timeline. So far, the amendments to the bylaws are very simple grammatical changes so that part should be quick. In order to make the changes they will need members’ vote on Friday. They will have copies of the proposed changes at the gathering.
