Minutes for Reorganization Meeting on January 12, 2017

It was a beautiful, but frigid night tonight as we elected our new leadership!

Wayne Kinney presided over the nominations and votes – and sadly announced his retirement. We’ve all appreciated his wisdom, hard work, and cheer and consider ourselves lucky to have had one of the ablest Oregon Democrats here in our own backyard.
