Report from Coopers Gap Precinct Picnic

Coopers Gap Democratic Precinct held a potluck picnic Sunday, May 23rd for its second meeting of the year. Although it was quite warm, there was a cool breeze blowing underneath the picnic shed.  For some of us, it was the first time we had participated in a social gathering since our long pandemic seclusion. We enjoyed socializing and getting to know each other better.   After sharing a delicious meal, we discussed the best ways to grow our membership. We decided that each of us will contact two people we know in Coopers Gap precinct in the coming months. Connecting with them several times, we will bring them to our next gathering. Another topic discussed was the possibility of taking on a community service project as a way to give back to the community. A few of the  ideas were collecting for the Sunny View Elementary food bank, providing dinner for the Sunny View Volunteer Fire Department, creating hygiene boxes, establishing a scholarship for a Coopers Gap High school student, or sponsoring a family at Christmas, etc. We will continue this discussion at our next meeting and decide on a project. It was agreed to meet again on Sunday, September 26th at 1:00pm for another potluck picnic. All are invited to join us. For further information contact Nolan Just at nolan.just@gmail.com.
