Final Reminder About April 14 Meeting!

This is a copy of the last email that I sent out on the Pima County YR list serve:

------------------------------

Greetings all Pima YRs-

This is the final reminder that I will be sending out regarding our meeting next Monday! Here's the details:

------------------------------

Time:

Monday, April 14, 2008
7:00 pm
Place:

Shogun Sushi
5036 N Oracle Rd
Tucson, AZ 85704
(520) 888-6646

(In the Shopping Center on the northeast corner of River & Oracle Rds)
------------------------------

We will have a very full meeting schedule on Monday.

Our main orders of business will be:

1) Electing a new club Secretary

This is the last elected position that we still need to fill in the club.

&

2) Approving the new Club Constitution & By-Laws

Vice-Chairman Mike Cole and myself went over our current Constitution and By-laws and wanted to combine the two documents to: make them easier to use; make sure they were more applicable for a club of our size; reduce redundancies; and remove any inconsistencies and contradictions that may have existed between the two documents. I have attached a copy of the proposed new Constitution & By-Laws to this email so that anybody who wants can look over the new document before we vote on whether to accept it during Monday's meeting.

(Obviously the attached document is not here, but you can email me if you would like a copy of the proposal.)

3) We will be having a very engaging and important speaker in Mr. Frank Antenori

I previously sent out a short bio on Frank. He is running for the State House of Representatives in LD30. He is running as a traditional candidate, so if anybody would like to donate to his campaign, you can do so at Monday's meeting. If you would like to know more about Frank and his campaign, you can visit his campaign website @ www.vote4frank.com.

4) Delelopment of our Fundraising Campaign & Conservative Scholarship Program

We will also begin our discussion of our developing fundraising campaign & Conservative scholarship program for young conservatives who are soon planning on heading to college.

5) Video making initiative from the YRNF

------------------------------

If you are planning on attending the meeting and have still not contacted me, please do so ASAP. Also, if you will be unable to attend the meeting but have anything that you would like me to share at the meeting, please get that info to me ASAP.

There are two more days to vote on our blog question of who you think would be the best choice as a running mate for John McCain. Just go to http://PimaYRs.blogspot.com to vote. I will announce the winner at the meeting.

Thank you for all of your patience with me and support.

A Bit of Humor About a Problem That's Not So Funny

I work at a financial institution which will remain unnamed and our mortgage banker sent me this hilarious picture which was supposedly from a real fake ID.

All I can say is that if you are an illegal alien and you are trying to get a fake ID be sure that no matter how much you love your girlfriend or wife that you don't use a picture with the both of you on for the actual fake ID.

YR Leadership Conference Registration Deadline & Video Submissions

Wil Westholm, our YR State Chair, wanted me to pass on these two important items:

--------------------

I know this is really late notice if anybody would like to attend, but the Young Republican National Federation (YRNF) is pleased to invite you to the 2008 YR Leadership Conference (YRLC), "R GENERATION", in Washington, D.C. from April 30-May 4. There will be numerous national Republican leaders speaking at this conference and special private tours of the White House are being offered.

The early registration deadline for this is APRIL 11. If you are interested in attending this conference, please visit http://www.yrlc2008.net/ order to register. This will be a very exciting conference and training seminar to attend during this very exciting election year.

--------------------

Second-

Anybody who has skills in film or vodeo making, we want you to be involved in our nationwide YR initiative to make short video segments explaining why you are Republicans. The YRNF will use some of these videos at the upcoming YRLC in DC. Please submit your video by April 12 if possible if you want your video to be played at the YRLC. This video submission campaign is meant to use social networking and video to reach out to young voters.

This from Karen Sautter and our very own Wil Westholm who are leading this video campaign:

Recognizing that young people will be key in the upcoming election, we developed a concept called "This is my Party" that features YRs in videos talking about why they are proud to be Republican. We believe that young voters will identify with our Party if we make it clear what we stand for and allow that message to resonate. But we need YRs to take ownership of this campaign and make videos of themselves to communicate our message.
