This is a reminder that Rhode Island’s largest Conservative organization, the RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY, will hold its next meeting on Thursday, April 14th, 2011.
The RIRA monthly meeting will be held in the lower-level of Tri-City Elk’s Lodge No. 14, at 1915 West Shore Road, in Warwick. For those wishing to eat before the RIRA meeting commences, dinner is available between 6:00pm and 7:00pm. The cost for dinner is about $10.00 per person. There is also a Cash Bar available. The RIRA business meeting will commence at 7:00PM.
Besides regular business, the agenda will include conducting the RIRA’s Biennial Reorganization Convention, to elect officers for the 2011 to 2013 term. The 9 elective positions on the RIRA Board of Directors are: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Sergeant-at-Arms, National Committeeman, National Committeewoman, and 2 Congressional District Regional Directors. All nominations are from the floor. Speaking program is TBA. In addition, we will plan for several upcoming fundraising initiatives for our political action committee, as well as discuss our participation in the RI Tax Day Rally on April 15th (RI State House lawn, 4pm to 6pm).
The RIRA is the Rhode Island affiliate of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, a thoughtful national organization of GOP conservatives working to grow and strengthen the Republican Party in the tradition of President Ronald Reagan. This is a dinner meeting, and if you want to eat, you pay for your own meal. Any like-minded conservative Republican is welcome to attend.

My name is Terrence George, and I am president of the Republican Club of Brown University. I am writing to inform you of the great accomplishments our group has made this year and to ask for your support.
The Republican Club has been hard at work for over 120 years to ensure that Republican values are represented on Brown’s campus and in the community at large. This year has been no different, with Republican Club members working tirelessly to support conservative candidates, and ensure that the message of mainstream America is not lost in campus political debates.
This year, members have represented the Republican Club in writings in the Brown Daily Herald, ensured the survival of the Brown Spectator: Journal of Conservative and Libertarian Thought, revived the Ivy League Republican Caucus, volunteered for conservative candidates, been appointed to the Providence Republican Party City Committee and designed a full-credit class entitled “Modern Conservatism in America” taught by Federalist Society founder, Visiting Professor Steven Calabresi, along with other experts in conservative thought.
This last accomplishment required a herculean effort, of which we are most proud. Our course has been featured in the Providence Journal, the Boston Globe and the Los Angeles Times, to name a few. I have also spoken about the course on WHJJ’s Helen Glover Show, NPR’s On Point with Tom Ashbrook and at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. Though these mediums I have been able to inform the nation about the great work we are doing at Brown.Despite these successes, our continued growth in this bluest of blue states will not be possible without the support of our friends and alumni.
If you find us worthy of your support, we ask that you either donate directly or come to enjoy beer, wine and heavy hors d’œuvre at our fundraiser in the historic Brown Faculty Club on April 14th from 6 to 8pm. An invitation to this event is attached, and though donations will be accepted at the door, we ask that you do RSVP in advance.
I truly hope you can attend our event, and I appreciate your timely response. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns or the names of others you believe should be invited to our event.
Respectfully,
Terrence Louis George
President, Republican Club of Brown University
