New Leaders to Helm Marco Dems

A new slate of officers was formally installed at the February meeting of the Democratic Women’s Club of Marco Island. All will serve two-year terms, as prescribed by the Democratic Women’s Club of Florida, replacing previous officers who helped found the club but were term limited.

Serving as president is Karen Tessel-Blum, formerly a vice president, who will be assisted by first vice president Deb Henry and second vice president Sally Miller. Ellen McCahill will continue as treasurer and Linda Brown will continue as secretary. All are residents of Marco Island.

The officers took an oath administered by DWC FL Region Chair Jane Schlechtweg, who also serves as the club’s legislative liaison. Board members at large also committed to uphold their responsibilities.

The club, which meets the second Tuesday of every month, will be conducting voter outreach through the next several months on Marco and in neighboring East Naples communities. Collier County School Board candidate, Dr. Arthur Boyer, will be the featured speaker at the club’s March 8 meeting, open to the public. The meeting will be held from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM at Mackle Park Community Center. For more information, please email info@dwcmarco.org.
