Precinct Organizational Meeting

Our annual organizational meeting occurred on Sunday, February 22.

FP06, FP07, and FP08 joined us for a joint meeting at Myrtle Grove Middle School for a general meeting where all the school board and county commission candidates gave brief campaing statements to us.  Then we broke into separate precinct business meetings.  

Elle Peterson was elected to be the new chair of FP04.  Barbara Garrow stepped down in August 2025, and Paul Sommers served temporarily until this precinct election meeting.  Sue Hunt will continue her term as vice chair, and Pam Price will continue as secretary.
