Some Photographic Highlights From the East Providence GOP Fundraiser

First of all, I really want to take the time to thank everyone who attended. The fundraiser was an overwhelming success by any standard. We actually had people drive from as far away as Westerly to attend! It was very uplifting.

I was so busy with other things relative to the fundraiser, I didn’t have a lot of time to take pictures. Thank you to the good folks at Anchor Rising for live-blogging, taking pictures, as well as videotaping the various speakers. The video clips of the various speeches should be available on Anchor Rising shortly. In total, we actually ended up with 12 speakers on the program.

I’ve included a few photographic highlights below with captions.

U.S. Congressional candidate Rep. John Loughlin addresses the capacity crowd at the East Providence GOP Fantastic Fall Fundraiser … which actually lived up to it’s name!

In this photo, you can see that we really packed them in like sardines. We only had seating set-up for 80, and as you can see, every seat was filled, so some people chose to stand around instead.

East Providence Assistant Mayor Bob Cusack welcomed everyone to East Providence. Probably about half the crowd were from outside the city, including quite a few new faces. His talk focused on the big impact that seemingly small changes can make.

Erik Wallin, the Republican candidate for Rhode Island Attorney General, really fired up the crowd. He’s definitely been working on his speeches, because this was probably one of his best to date.
