Community Engagement

We are part of Boone County and making it a better place for everyone is what being a Democrat is at its core. Currently we are engaging in two projects: scholarships for high school seniors and providing tomato plants for elementary students in the county.

This year we are offering three $500 scholarships to high school seniors who reside in Boone County, regardless of the school system they attend. The scholarships this year are given in honor of two long time activists, Mike O’Brian and Richard “Dick” Jordan. If you are aware of someone whop might want to apply, contact us at info@boonecountydem.com.

The second project is to provide a grow bag with a cherry tomato plant, locally grown, to any elementary student who would like one. We are distributing them on May 15th from 10-11 am by the public libraries in Boone, Ogden, and Madrid. If you would like to help with distribution, contact Mary Jo Schmerr at mjschmerr@hotmail.com.

Also being explored are opportunities to adopt a stretch of highway in Boone County for clean up and spending a day working for habitat for humanity.
