increase membership in the Democratic Town Committee and to increase the number
of registered Democrats in Cohasset.
Discussion on Ginny’s
“Points to Consider for Developing a Strategic Plan” followed distribution of
the “Points.”
Voter registration was
discussed and the possibility of registering voters at community evens such as
the farmer’s market. Whether that could
be done should be pursued.

“Points to Consider” with the aim of distributing the finished product to
Committee members.
