Responding to the upsurge in Covid-19 activity, the Shelby County Democratic Party has shifted its forthcoming Saturday pre-convention caucus from an on-site affair at Wooddale High School to a virtual event.
Here is the party’s press release on the matter:
Out of an abundance of caution, the Shelby County Democratic Party is cancelling its in-person convention that was scheduled for this Saturday, August 14th.
It will be replaced with a virtual event to take place on Saturday the 21st. All Democrats in Shelby County are still encouraged to participate by registering at https://www.shelbydem.org/2021_reorganization_convention.
Registration will close at 5 p.m. on Thursday the 19th. All registrants will receive an e-mail with the link for their virtual County Commission caucus on Friday the 20th.
The Executive Committee members and the Grassroots Council members elected on Saturday the 21st will still meet virtually to elect the Chair on Saturday the 28th.
For any urgent questions, call Convention Chair Sarah Beth Larson at 901-336-9643.
