I can't believe how long it is since I've had time to blog, or that it is the end of August already. Since Stan arrived, time has flown by so fast that it's hard to know what day it is, and we're loving it.
To think, we started with a big, empty open room and a handful of Democratic stalwarts and now our HQ is a hive of activity, buzzing with phone banks, canvassing, planning and everything else that goes into a successful campaign. Neighborhood Team Leaders have been selected for much of the county, many of us have been down to Rolla to complete our training, with another group set to go next week, volunteers have been and continue to be recruited and we are looking like a fully fledged campaign HQ.
My area, which covers Union and Villa Ridge, has almost completed its first pass on voter contact with an excellent success rate that I don't want to post here because we don't want to make the other side jealous, and other teams are catching up. A bit of inter-team friendly rivalry will spur us on, in a good-natured way, but for now, we can boast that we are the best. We are still recruiting volunteers for the whole county though, so please, if you can spare a couple of hours a week or a couple of days a week, join us in this exciting campaign to make history.
Another exciting thing for us was the arrival of our second paid Field Organizer last week. Megan drove all the way from California after doing a few months of service in Nepal. We are proud of our two young Field Organizers and love them to bits for their personalities, their dedication and their sheer hard work, although to look at them in the photo below, you'd think they just stood around drinking. In fairness, this was at the end of the Convention Watch Party when they took a very, very short break.
