Take Action

The Rogers County Democrats welcome all who are interested in making a difference here in Oklahoma.

We have many opportunities for volunteers, including helping to organize our monthly meetings, participating in local parades and events, and planning our summer picnic and winter holiday party.

Here are a few other opportunities:

ONGOING TEXTING PROGRAM
Rogers County has 33 precincts. Several of our members have taken on the project of texting one precinct, once a month, in the week preceding the monthly meeting, as a way to build attendance and awareness. The lists are only Democrats. It’s a simple process that can be done at your convenience, and a typical precinct list may have anywhere from 60 to 150 names. Contact George Schaefer at gschaef791@yahoo.com to find out how to get involved.

OUTREACH COMMITTEE
In the course of the coming year we will be doing a number of postcard mailings. We’ll need volunteers at the office to stick on mailing labels and postage. It’s a simple task that just requires a few extra pairs of hands. Contact George Schaefer for this as well.

OFFICE STAFFING
As the election season accelerates, we will begin keeping the office open for several hours a week to distribute yard signs and candidate literature, register voters, and to answer questions of anyone who stops by. Shifts will be short the more people who step up to help. The staffing will be managed by Women Empowered. Contact Sharon Douthitt at sdouthitt@prodigy.net .

SUMMER PICNICJULY 13, 2024
We will be hosting our annual summer picnic at Claremore Lake on Saturday, July 13. Our picnic last year was the first since the pandemic and it went great! If you would like to pitch in, please contact Sue Lamb at mslamb49@gmail.com . There will be lots to do.

YARD SALE – POSTPONED
Watch this space for more information.

BE A PRECINCT OFFICER
The intent of the Oklahoma Democratic Party is for every precinct to have officers, a chair, a vice-chair and a secretary. In practice this is rarely the case. Of the 33 precincts in Rogers County, only 14 have any officers at all. This is not a demanding position. It consists mainly in being in touch with your Democratic neighbors and encouraging participation in meetings and events. If you are intersted in being a precinct officer contact County Party Chair Gerry Mooney at gerry@mooneyart.com .

Mailing project goes really well!

On Saturday April 27 a bunch of us gathered at our office at 106 S. Cherokee Ave. in Claremore to kick off our main fundraising mailer of the election season.

Small, monthly donations are the backbone of our funding. The office rent, internet services, utilities are all paid for by the generosity of our regular members. Our new effort is designed to bolster our funding, but more than anything to let the Democrats of Rogers County know that we exist!

Headed and run by George Schaefer, it was truly a group effort. Chair Gerry Mooney arranged for the flyers to be printed and folded, dowloaded and printed address labels, Vice-Chair Paula Strickland ordered envelopes and mailing labels, and several of our regular members donated sheets and rolls of first class stamps. About 700 stamps were donated so we have another 300 or so stuffed envelopes that need postage.

In addition, Rogers County has over 11,000 registered Democrats so this will be an ongoing project throughout this election season. You can always get involved in helping the county party expand our message.
