The Andes Democratic Party will hold a special meeting on Thursday, March 8 at the Andes Hotel. The meeting will be open to all Democrats in the towns of Andes and Bovina, to those who are interested in becoming Democrats, or anyone interested in making a difference in the two towns. The hope is to form a Democratic club, to address issues and raise interest in the political and general welfare of the area. The Andes Hotel’s regular and tavern menus will be available, but those planning to eat should do so either before or after the meeting, as dining service will not be available in the meeting room. Call 845-676-4718 and leave a message.
