Beltrami County DFL plans supper, social hour and June events

Beltrami County DFL will use a June 10 supper and social hour at its Bemidji office to bring supporters together before the party’s executive committee meeting later that evening, a sign of the local organizing push taking shape ahead of the election cycle. The light meal is set for 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 10, at the Beltrami County DFL Office, 1510 Bemidji Ave. N., with the Beltrami County DFL Executive Committee meeting scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

The June 10 gathering sits at the center of a fuller month of activity designed to keep members engaged between meetings and fundraisers. Beltrami County DFL described itself as an all-volunteer team, and its June calendar also includes Pie and Politics on June 3, Coffee and Conversation on June 4, board game night on June 11 and Pizza and Programs on June 18. The mix of social events and committee business suggests an effort to build turnout, strengthen volunteer ties and keep political messaging moving through the summer.

The month’s biggest fundraising push is set for 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday, June 15, when the party will hold a walleye fish fry and auction at the Bemidji Eagles Club, 1270 Neilson Ave. SE. Admission is $20 per person. The event will include live music, a silent auction, candidate speeches and a live auction, putting candidates and party organizers in front of attendees in a setting built for both outreach and fundraising.

Beltrami County DFL has also listed contact information for anyone looking to connect with the local party directly. The office can be reached by phone or text at 218-766-4529 or by email at beltramidfl@gmail.com. With June packed full of meetings, social hours and campaign-style events, the party is using its Bemidji base to organize locally and keep a steady presence in county politics.
