“I couldn’t be more proud of our group! We do it all: literature drops, canvassing, text banking, letters to the editor, and card writing. Our members man the office, travel for signs and serve on the on-line silent auction committee,” said CCDW President Pat Hancock. “The RBG pin is awarded to members who volunteer 20 hours of service to party activities. The pin is but a token of our appreciation for their service.”
