Becky Vaughn era comes to an end for Oconee Democrats

Image
Becky DeLozier Vaughn, two time political office candidate and chair of the Oconee County Democratic Committee, resigned her committee membership unexpectedly at the end of the monthly meeting Thursday at the Oconee Government Annex citing personal reasons. Her annual Christmas parties were a welcome distraction from the usual drudgery of political committee meetings. Vaughn ran unsuccessfully against Bob Smith for State Representative in 2006 and also lost against Brian Kemp for State Senate in 2004. She has been working in Washington, D.C. as a lobbyist for a drug education PAC State Association of Addiction Services while maintaining a residence in Bogart at Jennings Mill. She had worked for many years in a similar capacity in Atlanta lobbying state leaders of both parties. She has three daughters and a son. Vaughn was instrumental in the resurgence of the Oconee County Democratic Committee along with Bill Yarborugh, starting up monthly meetings after the mass exodus to the Republ

Help Preserve the Keep Oconee County Beautiful Commission

Mary Mellein is a friend of mine who has run for office before and been involved in numerous Oconee County residents' efforts, and I generally support just about everything she does. I do not want to see the elimination of the Keep Oconee County Clean and Beautiful Commisson either and urge you to let your Commissioners know of your decision to support this important citizens committee. I also do not want to the Board of Commissioners jack up the registration fees for the Recreation Department activities either. I am afraid that is what they are going to do. Sounds like it is a job for our concerned voters to voice their opinions as soon as possible.

Oconee resident Rachel O'Neal's Upcoming Show Dates

First the disclaimer, while not directly related by blood I am distantly related to Rachel by several marriages and have known her longer than that. So with that out of the way, I can highly recommend her for your entertainment pleasure whether at a brewery or bed and breakfast or even a house party. She is a great singer and worthy of your attention.

Just thought I'd let you all know about my upcoming shows this summer and into the fall that I have scheduled so far. I'm also trying to get into playing private parties and events, so if you have something scheduled for which you think some acoustic music would be appropriate, please keep me in mind... Hope to see you at a show! Monday, June 22nd - Ashford Manor Concerts on the Lawn - 6:00 pm (opening for The Highballs) Saturday, June 27th - Athfest Mainstage - 5:30
