Norma Shulman reports: We had a very full house of volunteers to learn about plans for GOTV Dry Run events the last weekend of October and for the four days of GOTV weekend and election week. Zach Mooney, GOTV Training Director at Team Warren, was there to inspire and explain the tasks ahead. Diana Goswami, field organizer, got everyone signed up for “get out the vote” shifts. We distributed a lot of lawn signs, and swag, for those who signed up to participate. We even had several volunteers work as a team to assemble lawn signs before the meeting even got underway!
