Hi folks,

As we rapidly approach the Democratic Nominating Convention, it is time to ramp up our efforts here in Howard County and Kokomo. To that end, I am pleased to announce some volunteering opportunities at our Campaign For Change Headquarters in Kokomo.

All positions are without pay, but the work that each position will do is valuable and critical to our efforts here. Some positions require a specific time commitment, and others are less time-intensive. If you are interested in one of these positions, please contact me by e-mail or give me a call at 532-0177. You may also stop by the office at 217 W. Sycamore St. to visit with me. Feel free to pass along this information to any party that you feel might be interested. Thanks!
