Benton County Democrats
Purpose:
The object of the organization shall be to promote fellowship among members and to further activities that will benefit the Democratic Party.

History:
Formerly known as the Benton County Democratic Women's Club, our organization voted at its June meeting to change the bylaws. Men were formerly associate members, and paid a lower dues assessment.  Now, women and men are equal members.


Welcome
to
bcdems.org, an innovative new “member” of Benton County Democrats. Our hope is to bring you important and timely information.  We solicit your trust and assistance in keeping all of our members informed.  Please use this as a tool to invite your friends and neighbors to join us, especially between now and November.
      Sharon Carter, President
