On Tuesday October 29th, the
Guernsey Soil and Water Conservation District will be holding their 71th annual
meeting and banquet. Every year the GSWCD
holds an annual meeting for the purpose of electing members to the five member
board that comprises the board of supervisors for the district. This year there will be one member elected to
a three-year term.
The mission of the Guernsey
Soil and Water Conservation District is to promote through education and
technical assistance the sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit
of present and future generations. The
traditional perception of the Soil and Water Conservation District has been one
of working primarily with the agricultural community. The district does work on natural resource
issue with local agriculture but in addition to that it is a considerable
resource to all landowners and land users in Guernsey County.
This year's slate of candidates
for election to the district board of supervisors include; Steve Douglass and
Bob Sherby. The candidate with the most
votes will be elected to a three-year term.
The official election will begin at 6:00 pm Tuesday, October 29th at the Cassell Station VFD, 4500 Peters Creek
Rd, Cambridge, Ohio. Voting may be done
from 6:00pm to 7:30pm.
The banquet will be served at

C BBQ. Tickets for the banquet are $10,
and can be purchased from any current board member, or from the SWCD office. If you are unable to attend the day of the
election, absentee ballots are available at the district office located at 9711
