Candidate is speaker

Sandy J. Harrington of Locust Grove, a candidate for the Orange County School Board from District 5, will address members of the LOW Democratic Club on Wednesday, July 12.

Sandy J. Harrington

Harrington’s campaign web site describes her professional qualifications as “20 years of K-12 public school administration including budget, fiscal services, child nutrition services, transportation, maintenance and operations.”

The club meeting, which convenes at 1 p.m. with a social session followed by the program at 1:30 p.m,. takes place in the lower level of the LOW Clubhouse. Nicole Pappas, who has a bakery business, has volunteered to provide some special desserts for the meeting.

Since the School Board election is non-partisan, the club will not be making a formal endorsement, but individuals who wishes to support her campaign can being a check made out to “Vote Sandy School Board,” or mail a check to P.O. Box 1214, Locust Grove, VA 22508.

The School Board election will take place November 7. In District 5, which includes Lake of the Woods, incumbent Jim Hopkins, who was first elected in 2007,  is being opposed by Gary MacFadden and Harrington.

Fundraising events to benefit the campaign of Jason Ford for State Senate will be held August 26 in the town of Orange and September 16 at the LOW Community Center. Watch for details concerning these two important events.
