An Appeal from the Chair

Vernon Democrats — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:44:07 +0000

Labor Day has come and gone! The action is heating up on the our town’s election. We are fielding a strong group of candidates that truly wish to serve our community and make it a better place to live.
The Board of Education features Paul Stansel, Kyle Percy and Teri Golidch all of whom have children in the schools. We are also pleased to have Chris Prue, who is a recent RHS graduate. These individuals will bring a unique perspective to the Board.

The Town Council has our returning members Marie Herbst, Mike Winkler and Polly Schaefer. They have proven themselves time and again keeping Vernon first. Joining them will be Steve Taylor, Bill Dauphin, Jim Sendrak, Terilyn Rogers and James Krupienski.

Steve and Bill are Vice-Chairmen of the VDTC and have led the way for positive change.
Jim has cut his teeth on the Rockville Community Alliance and brings a message identifying the top 10 issues, fixing them and replacing them with new ones. Terilyn has had many years of experience in the business world and has a burning desire to share what she knows to help all. Last but not least is James. He has to be one of the most knowledgeable people in town who really knows how it all works and what we need to do to achieve greatness.

Best of all, we are reintroducing Michele Arn to the world of town government. Her experience on the BoE and in the business world allows her the ability to see through the “bull” and make the right decisions for All of Us. She will bring solid leadership and civility back to Vernon.

Now for the sales pitch: The cost of an election is extremely high. Each candidate has made a substantial contribution to the treasury to help pay for signs, brochures and advertising.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!

Please consider making a donation to the campaign. We REALLY could use money to pay for targeted mailings and spot ads. Needless to say these are all expensive and we do request your help to defray the costs.

Your can send a check to me

give it to me or Jim Swicklas at the Sept. 23rd meeting ( 7pm Police Community Room, Gary LeBeau guest speaker).

On behalf of our Democratic Team: THANK YOU!
