Normally I don’t post these notices but there are a couple of reasons that I need to – day and location. Normally, these meetings are held on a Monday night but the Party is saying that Labor Day interferes with that. And the location has changed – the meeting will be at Houston Baptist University, not at the Harris County Community College West Loop location.
Here is the call from the Party (click here if your browser isn’t compatible with Google Viewer):
If you are a precinct chair, you need to be there! And put some thought into it before attending. The Harris County Republican Party desperately needs a makeover on several committees, most importantly the Vacancy committee. We need people on that committee that care enough about the future of the party to actually attend meetings and recruit precinct chairs.
I know that in my district, SD11, several people are challenging the status quo – that is a good thing. Just because someone has been in a position before doesn’t entitle them to hold that position forever. We need ACTIVE representation, not names on a piece of paper.
Please spread the word so that all precinct chairs are aware of this meeting. I’ve talked to several people who think that the HCRP moved this meeting to a Thursday night to have less participation because it is opening night of high school football. If that is true, that is a sad reflection on the Party.
Gonna be there, Dave?
No, I’m going to be on the beach on vacation! But I’m not a precinct chair, so it wouldn’t matter anyway. Joan McMillan is my precinct chair (377) and she’ll do what is right.
I know there are folks who look for a conspiracy in every action, but High School football has already started. If we were in Ector County I would anticipate that everyone would have the schedule memorized, but I would venture a guess that 90 percent of the precinct chairs in Harris County have not been to a Thursday night high school game in the last two years.
