Greg Dutton chaired the Legislative District 12 meeting on 11 November 2025, despite having had surgery that morning. Greg recognized our Veterans as did our singer for the National Anthem, Joe DiFiore. The officers were brief in their reports as we had a full evening of proposals and speakers.
Carole Wilson and her crew of volunteers made extra fund raising efforts before the meeting with buttons, Fall baskets, delicious Christmas snacks, and decorations for sale.
The holiday Donation Drive was amazing! LD12 responded with just short of 200 lbs. of Christmas cheer for Generation church’s Holiday drive as well as food supplies for St. Mary’s Food bank.
Board members presented their reports.
First Vice Chair Patty Porter discussed projects and events for the upcoming election year – 2026.
Carole Wilson, 3rd Vice Chair, displayed remaining Fall baskets and button fund raisers with a reminder that they are posted on the website Shop section. She also thanks everyone for the donations brought today to the event. Carole thanked all the PC’s who help collect the signs after the 3 November election. Carole and other PC’s conducted Hand Count training for LD26 yesterday and we are reminded that the MCRC has hand count training tomorrow (Wed., 12 Nov) and other times in the future to be posted.
Fundraising Links – Only 11 baskets remain from over 50! Get one before they are all gone!
