UPDATE: 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:

Important!! This is the event that is going to take the RI Young Republicans to the next level, allowing us to make numerous contacts from throughout the region, while also raising the funds we’ll need to effectively support RIGOP candidates in 2010. So please show your support on October 3rd!!!
Every election cycle, each of the four regions of the Republican National Committee holds an RNC Regional Conference. This year, Rhode Island is very proud to be the host of the RNC Regional Leadership Conference, which will occur from Friday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 5th, at the Marriott Hotel on America’s Cup Boulevard, in Newport.
