RIRARhode Island’s largest Conservative organization, the RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY, will hold its next monthly meeting and BIENNIAL ENDORSEMENT CONVENTION on Thursday, June 21st, 2012, at 7:00 P.M. Note that this is one week later than our usual “second Thursday” meeting schedule.

Please note that this month’s RIRA monthly meeting and biennial endorsement convention will NOT be held at the Rhode Island Shriners. Instead, it will be held at the COVENTRY-WEST GREENWICH ELKS LODGE No. 2285, at 42 Nooseneck Hill Road, in West Greenwich, RI (This is where we formerly held our Christmas parties in years past). Please also note that we will not be having a sit down dinner prior to the endorsement convention. However, a selection of complimentary appetizers will be available during the convention, as well as a Cash Bar. The convention begins at 7:00 P.M. Any like-minded Republican may attend. However, only RIRA members “in good standing” may vote (and your annual dues must be current).

The agenda will mainly deal with consideration of possible RIRA endorsements for federal races, as well as those for Republican National Committeeman and Committeewoman, as well as for RI General Assembly. A number of candidates have asked to personally address our organization, and will be taking questions from the membership. Endorsements by RIRA require the assent of 2/3rds of the membership present and voting. Endorsement by RIRA is one of the requirements for candidates to be eligible for financial assistance from our Political Action Committee.
