We hope you’ll come join us as we have a chance to meet our Libertarian Party of Illinois candidates for nomination prior to the state convention on March 2-3! Candidates for IL Governor, Lt. Governor, Secretary of State, Comptroller, and Treasurer are scheduled to attend.
The forum will be held at Ducky’s Lagoon at 13515 78th Ave W in Taylor Ridge. Let us know you’re coming and share the event on Facebook!
At our monthly meeting, we held elections and I’m happy to announce that our new Whiteside County chair will be Bill Gallentine. I know he’ll do a great job. I’ll continue as vice-chair, Shannon will continue as secretary, and Robyn will serve as treasurer.
We also voted to change our meeting location to Culver’s in Rock Falls, which the group felt would be better suited for our meetings.
We also discussed events to participate and volunteer in and came up with some good ideas. In the coming months, we’ll come back with more ideas and come up with a more concrete plan. We do plan to participate in the Rock Falls Sesquicentennial celebration in some way.

It’s time for the final push for the 2016 election! We have door-hanger bags with literature and our chapter information and they’re no good after next Tuesday. They’re great for for door-do-door canvassing, putting on windshields, setting out on public tables, etc. We also have some separate If you can help us get rid of these, please let us know!
