The Hempstead County Republican Party held their regular monthly meeting early in April. The members spent much of their time discussing and planning their role in the upcoming fundraising chicken dinner and dessert auction to benefit former County Judge Haskell Morse set for this Thursday April 18th at the Hemsptead County Detention Center sally port. Serving of the smoked chicken dinners will be from 10:30am until 4pm (or until the food runs out!). Information by Mark Keith.
