Dear Ottawa Dems,
Our state Spring Convention will be held February 2 at Cobo Center in Detroit. Prior to the Spring Convention Ottawa Dems are required to hold a county convention for the purpose of electing one male delegate to the Resolutions Committee of the MDP, and to discuss any resolutions we might want to put forth at convention. The MDP balances gender on committees - this is the reason we have one male delegate to Resolutions.
