Sometimes meetings can be a bore but sometimes you really miss something exciting or important. County party meetings are generally dull and can degenerate into griping sessions but at other times there are important business items that need to pass.
- Things like setting a date to open a campaign HQ.
- Things like being invited to see a Presidential candidate (the next day, notice for these tends to be at the last minute) !!!
- Approving necessary spending that cannot wait until next month.
This is extremely important if you live in a rural area where many members don't have email or internet access. This is the case in these parts and if you don't show - you won't know! I could have had a van full of local members go with me to see John McCain today for nothing but the cost of the gas to get there but the meeting was poorly attended and so nobody learned of the opportunity to go.
Thats how the fortune cookie crumbles some days,
Jim
