Beltrami DFL Hosts Supper and Meeting on How to Become a Precinct Chair — Source: alphanews.org

The Beltrami County Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party is inviting residents to an evening of food, conversation and party business at the Little Rock Community Center, 28017 State Hwy 1, Red Lake, with a light supper and social hour set to begin at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 14. The party’s regular executive committee meeting will follow at 6 p.m., and the agenda includes a presentation on how to become a precinct chair or a delegate to DFL conventions.

For local residents, the event is more than a meeting. Precinct chairs serve as the party’s grassroots organizers, connecting neighbors to voter information, local events and the process of endorsing candidates. Delegates represent their communities at district and state conventions, where they can influence party platforms, endorse candidates and help select future leaders. The presentation at the meeting will outline those roles and the steps to get involved, making the evening a practical entry point for Beltrami County voters who want to shift from interest to active participation.

The meeting’s timing and location make it accessible to residents in Red Lake and surrounding parts of the county. Attendees should plan for winter travel conditions and allow extra time to arrive early for the social hour if they wish to network with party members before the business session begins. The event offers an opportunity to meet county DFL officers, learn about upcoming local and state convention calendars, and ask procedural questions about precinct and delegate responsibilities.

Engagement at the precinct level can shape local governance and how Beltrami County voices are represented at higher levels of the party. For residents considering deeper involvement in civic life, the Jan. 14 meeting provides clear, practical information and a chance to sign up or learn next steps.
