HUGE Rhode Island Young Republicans Event | Saturday Night

Posted on October 3, 2009 by The Ocean State Republican

RIYRUPDATE: The RIYR party just blew expectations out of the water. Literally hundreds of Young Republicans and others came to the Brick Alley pub and enjoyed quite possibly the biggest and best R.I. Republican party ever. Great job!

As we all know by now, the Rhode Island Young Republicans really know how to throw a [Republican] party. On Saturday night, they will host the biggest and best one yet, with Young Republicans from all over the Northeastern United States.

Every month, the RIYR’s hold a social event at different restaurants around the state. The October event is being held in conjunction with the Republican National Committee’s Northeast Regional Conference, which is being held in Newport, from Friday through Sunday.

The Rhode Island Young Republicans party is a stand-alone event (you do not have to be registered for the RNC Conference). Although the event is heavily geared towards 20 and 30-somethings, Republicans of any age are welcome to attend.

The big event is going to be held on Saturday at the Brick Alley Pub on historic Thames Street in Newport, from 8:00 PM to at least 12:00 AM. There will be a number of great guest speakers including Congressman and GOP Policy Chairman Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan.

If you have ever attended RIYR monthly social events in the past, this is really THE Rhode Island Young Republican event that you do not want to miss. If you haven’t been to one yet, let this be your introduction to the “new and improved” YR’s. This event will be fully catered all night long with a cash bar. A $20.00 cover charge will be requested at the door.

Below is a write-up of the event from RIYR Chair Travis Rowley:

Check out this parody public service announcement (PSA) by Catholic Vote Action about Big Government and its plans to take over your health care. This is yet another spoof of Will Ferrell’s now infamous ad for MoveOn.org. This is a must share.

“People are saying a lot of mean things about Big Government. And calling it “Socialism?” It’s gotta stop.”

RI Young Republicans to Host ‘After Hours’ @ RNC Northeast Conference | October 3

Posted on September 17, 2009 by The Ocean State Republican

RIYRRHODE ISLAND YOUNG REPUBLICANS TO HOST AFTER HOURS — WILL FEATURE NUMEROUS REGIONAL AND NATIONAL DIGNITARIES IN NEWPORT

Despite being busy exposing the many pitfalls of big government and the dangers of endorsing a lopsided State Congress, the Rhode Island Young Republicans (RIYRs) are pleased to announce a post-conference reception following the Republican Northeast Conference in Newport on October 3rd.

Taking place at the famous Brick Alley Pub on Thames Street, the RIYRs will welcome numerous guests and dignitaries, including RI Governor Don Carcieri, RNC Chief of Staff Ken McKay, and RIGOP Chairman Giovanni Cicione.

Beginning at 8:00 p.m., the event will feature a silent auction and many surprise guests – but unlike the White House and numerous ACORN offices around the country, all visitors will be fully accounted for.

“Sometimes there’s no better way to build a Party than by just throwing a party. And that’s what we’re going to do,” said Travis Rowley, chairman of the RIYRs. “We’re pleased to host this event for the attendees of the Republican Northeast Conference, and anybody else who is counting down the days until January 20, 2013. Democrats are welcome. But they have to pay double.”

For more information about the Rhode Island Young Republicans and the October 3rd event, please visit http://www.rhodeislandyr.com/ or contact Travis Rowley at trowley [at] idiversity [dot] org.

ABOUT THE RI YOUNG REPUBLICANS

The RIYRs are a body of Rhode Islanders, primarily in their 20s and 30s, representing people of many different stripes – police officers and firemen, moms and dads, entrepreneurs and business owners, teachers and students, lawyers and doctors. Under the name “Republican” we represent a diverse crowd of unabashed conservatives, libertarians, and traditionalists, who all defend the American values of individualism, freedom, capitalism, and a moral order. – For more info, visit http://www.rhodeislandyr.com/
