East Goshen Democrats at the CCDC Fall Fundraiser

East Goshen Democrats turned out to help fund Get Out the Vote efforts at the Chester County Democratic Committee fundraiser on Thursday, Sept. 28. We had a great time bidding on the Silent Auction, meeting the many local and statewide candidates who attended, and meeting up with other strong, dedicated Democrats from all over the County. Pictured here are: (L-R) Township Supervisor Candidate Barbara Emery, Court of Common Pleas Judge Candidate Fredda Maddox, East Goshen Township Democratic Leader Clara Thorne, Precinct 5 Committee Person Dave Shumaker, and Chester County Democratic Committee Chair Charlotte Valyo.

Join Us at the School Board Candidates Forum!

The League of Women Voters is hosting a Forum for West Chester Area School Board Director candidates on Wed., Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. at the West Goshen Township Admin Building, 1025 Paoli Pike. Let’s turn out to support our candidates, Daryl Durnell and Karen Herrmann, in their quest to continue their strong and positive leadership and their goal that every student should have the opportunity for a first-class education!

Hard Work and Fun at the Goshen Country Fair!

Someone has said that come August, if you’re not “down the shore” you’re at the Goshen Country Fair. That’s certainly true for our hard-working and fun-loving East Goshen Democratic volunteers and candidates, who turned out in force at the Fair last week. Here are a few photo highlights.

Fair preparations included stuffing school backpacks with useful supplies (and valuable gift cards!) to be raffled off. Here, from left,: Marie Knox, Walter Wujcik, Edda Schwartz, and Clara Thorne fill backpacks for the raffle. (Photo: Julieta Calmon)

Taking advantage of our high-traffic location next to the donut stand, candidates and volunteers reached out to fairgoers. Here, a volunteer for candidate Fredda Maddox (Judge, Chester County Court of Common Pleas) distributes campaign literature. Behind her is a sign for our Civics Trivia Quiz — everyone who participated received a free copy of the U.S. Constitution. Plus, there’s a display for the backpack raffle, not to mention candidate signs galore. (Photo: Clara Thorne)
