Fulton/Franklin Democratic Club
The Fulton/Franklin Democratic Club formed after the Kerry Campaign ended in November of 2004. We had worked together on that campaign, and decided to stick together and keep going, beginning work immediately on the next election. We work for the election of Democrats and hold educational activities promoting the understanding of Democratic Values.
There are no dues as of now. Joining consists of showing up for a meeting or activity and giving us your email address and phone number.
We meet usually on the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Fulton County Democratic Headquarters at 123 South Second Street in McConnellsburg.
