On Thursday, August 4th, Wakulla Democrats will travel to Tallahassee to honor two of their own when Wakulla Sheriff David Harvey and Mrs. Joan Hendrix are recognized as 2011 "Golden Democrats" at the Capital City Democratic Women's Club Golden Democrat Lunch at the Leon County Civic Center.
What a great way to celebrate President Obama's birthday!
Mrs. Joan Hendrix currently serves as secretary of both the Wakulla Democratic Executive Committee and the Wakulla Democratic Women’s Club.
Mrs. Hendrix also serves the Wakulla community as President of the Citizens for the Humane Treatment of Animals (CHAT). In that role, she writes a weekly column for the Wakulla News and educates the community about animals and pets in our county.
In 2008, Mrs. Hendrix was a tireless volunteer for the Obama for President campaign efforts in Wakulla County. She served as office manager for the campaign headquarters and supervised the work of dozens of local volunteers.
Mrs. Hendrix also serves as the VAN administrator for the Wakulla County DEC. She also serves as the Precinct Captain Coordinator. In that role, she organizes and advises precinct representatives throughout the county.
Mrs. Joan Hendrix is a hands-on, active Democrat. Wakulla County has been truly fortunate that she made her home here. Mrs. Hendrix exemplifies Democratic service and the Democrats of Wakulla County are proud to nominate her for this year’s recognition.

Celebrating the 4th of July in Sopchoppy with Wakulla Democrats!
Your fellow Wakulla Democratic friends took to the streets as part of the Sopchoppy Fourth of July Parade. A brand new banner sporting our name and Democratic logo looked really good being carried through the Sopchoppy streets by our very own Alan Brock and accompanied by Al Pasini. Steve and Diane Wilson rode their bicycles and distributed candy to the crowds as they followed the parade through town along with Verna Brock who drove the DEC truck and also distributed candy. A good time was had by all.
Commissioner Alan Brock commented, “I always enjoy the Sophchoppy 4th of July festivities- and being in the parade is part of the tradition!”
Al Pasini said “It was great fun marching in an old fashioned July 4 parade down the main streets of Sopchoppy. I was proud to hold the Democratic banner and greet the folks in Sopchoppy.”
With your help, next year we will make our participation in this event even larger. We all look forward to seeing you at our next meeting which will be held August 11 at the County Library. More details and a reminder will be sent out closer to the meeting date.
As always, please check our website and calendar for scheduled events and check us out on Facebook at Wakulla County Democratic Party.
