Subject: [oconee] Bill Yarbrough to speak on election-related issues

The Oconee County Democratic Committee is pleased that Bill Yarbrough, a
member of the Board of Elections in Oconee County, will be our Fourth
Sunday speaker this month. Bill recently updated the committee about
the new polling districts, and we immediately thought that other people
would find his behind-the-scenes comments informative and interesting.
He'll also talk about the tests and routines used to safeguard the
voting process.

The event will take place on Sunday, February 24th, at 7 PM at the
Oconee County Library on Experiment Station Road.

Yarbrough, a native of Oconee County, will talk about the rationale for
changing polling places and will discuss new initiatives such as one at
Athens Academy, where high school students will be trained to serve as
poll workers.

Information about deadlines and filing fees for various posts will also
be available for anyone interested in serving in an elected position in
the county.

The presentation is part of our free, non-partisan series of Fourth
Sunday lectures about issues and ideas.

Hope to see you!

Pat Priest

I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
