The next meeting of the Mason County Democratic Women's Club is scheduled for Wednesday, June 16, 2010, at El Sarape Restaurant in Gateway Center.  The no-host lunch begins at 11:30 a.m. with the program following the noon business meeting.  The two Democratic candidates for County Assessor, Melody Peterson and Marcie Lohmeyer, have been invited to speak to the group about their respective candidacies.

Last month, PUD Commission No. 3 Chair Linda Gott gave an overview on the status of the proposed $40.9 million PUD Johns Prairie Operations Center.  She indicated that the project had been under study for more than 15 years with the intent to consolidate operations to enhance customer convenience and more efficient services without affecting electricity rates.  The warehouse, field operations line staff, maintenance, telecommunications and administrative services are among the functions to be housed at the facility. The existing customer service office in downtown Shelton will be maintained.  Linda touched on many other aspects of the project and provided written materials to the group. She encouraged individuals to contact the PUD offices with any questions they may have. Overall, it was an interesting and informative discussion.

Next month's program should provide an opportunity to get to know the Assessor candidates a little better by having them respond to questions you may have.  Hope to see you there on June 16th.
