As usual, only RIGOP Delegates or their Designated Alternates may vote in this election, but anyone can attend to observe the fun. Questions concerning the meeting can be referred to the RIGOP office at (401) 732-8282.

Additional dates: The RIGOP Executive Committee will meet on Wednesday, December 7th. The RIGOP Nominations Committee will meet on Sunday, December 18th. Members of those committees will be notified of the meeting times and locations.

The Rhode Island Republican State Central Committee will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, November 16th, 2011, at 7:00 PM. Please arrive early for Check-In, as attendance is expected to be larger than usual. The RIGOP Executive Committee will hold a brief meeting at 6:30 pm.

The venue for the meeting will be the same as for the October meeting: Shrine Masons of Rhode Island, 1 Rhodes Place, Cranston, RI 02905. (The Shriners’ building is in front of Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet at Broad Street).

During the October meeting there was the formal reading and comment about the RIGOP by-law amendment #1 about modifying the eligibility criteria for future Republican primaries. There will be limited time available for discussion of that by-law amendment for those who feel it necessary and then there will be a vote by secret ballot. This amendment requires a two-thirds vote for approval.

Only RIGOP Delegates or their Designated Alternates may vote, although anyone can attend. This is the last scheduled RIGOP meeting of 2011.

Any questions about the meeting can be directed to RIGOP HQ at (401) 732-8282.
