HCDC APRIL MEETING   Thursday, April 19, 7-9 pm Ellsworth City Hall Auditorium Other HCDC News   Two Local Democrats Recognized for Outstanding Service Greg Emerson and John Van Pelt, M.D., both Surry residents, received special recognition at the Hancock County Democratic Committee's annual Ruth Moss Gala, held this Saturday, May 21st at the Lucerne Inn in Deadham. Each year the Committee gives the Ruth Moss Democracy Award to Hancock County Democratic volunteers who have offered exceptional service. Greg (above right) has been a reliable phone banker for a number of years and has recently put significant energy into leading the Surry Democrats. John (above left), a retired pediatrician, was a loyal phone caller during the 2010 campaign and has been a persuasive letter-to-the-editor writer over the years. The event is named for Ruth Moss, who came to Hancock County in 1972. She was instrumental in growing the Hancock County Democratic Committee and has served as the Chair of the committee. She has since retired from her official capacities but has remained, at age 86, a loyal and enthusiastic volunteer. Support HCDC's grassroots efforts.
