Click here IT'S FUN TO VOLUNTEER WITH OTHER OCAF MEMBERS! Dear Dan, The largest Thrift Sale of it's kind in NE Georgia is right around the corner and many OCAF members have been having a great time setting it all up. The sense of community and camaraderie that permeates the Thrift Sale is not to be missed! Without your volunteer support, the sale on March 16 & 17 will not work! The Thrift Sale is one of the most important fundraisers of the year for OCAF and the revenue brought in helps support the historic OCAF facilities and the many vital arts events and exhibits that we enjoy all year long. Won't you please give a little of your time and help us make this year's e...

The snow and ice made finding the usual garbage along the Oconee Connector this Saturday very difficult at best, so the Oconee County Democratic Committee Adopt-A-Mile clean up of a mile stretch from the 316 interchange to about where the Golden Pantry is will take place Monday at 1:00 pm instead. The Clarke County Democratic Committee wanted me to let you know that they will be working at Clarke Middle School from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm that same MLK Jr. Day as well. It's a day on, not a day off, especially after almost a week off

Woven brightly, Daniel J. Matthews, Jr. From: info@johnkerry.com To: danmatt@hotmail.com Subject: Volunteer in Georgia for Jim Martin Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:35:03 -0600 To view this email as a web page, go here. Hello Dan, You've been there with me and one of my closest friends Max Cleland, so you know how critical it is that Jim Martin defeat Saxby Chambliss in next week's runoff. So let's skip right to the chase. The day after America elected Barack Obama President, I called my team together and asked them to keep working for a few more weeks - in Georgia. I asked them to go help Jim Martin because I'll never forget what Saxby did to my brother Max - and now my boots on the ground  could sure use your help. Our records indicate that you live in Georgia, but even if you've moved, you can still help phone-banking and getting out the vote. Just contact Ioanna Kefala at ikefala@johnkerry.com and let her kn...

This season I have been coaching my son in basketball at the Oconee County Recreation Department primarily at the John T. Brannen building's gymnasium of the Herman C. Michael park. We play two games at the slick rubberized floor of Malcolm Bridge Elementary School. If anyone wants to run for the Oconee County Board of Education on a "no more unsafe rubberized gymnasium floor" platform to perhaps replace David Weeks' slot now that he is running for Christine Franklin's chair slot (she is not seeking re-election), I will certainly support and endorse them. Previously I coached the oldest kids in the recreation department (15-16 year olds) and was popular enough to be picked to coach an all-star team to state where we were stomped at Fort Stewart about 15 years ago. Now I am coaching the youngest kids and have learned you cannot employ the same competitive techniques with the smaller children. The Oconee County Recreation Department has always been very good to me,...
