Celebrating our

UPCOMING SATURDAY, JUNE 20 MEETING

The Republican Club at Oak Run will host a special meeting to celebrate the nation's 250th Birthday. The meeting will be held at 3:00 PM at the Palm Grove.

Featured speakers will include Florida's Chief Financial Officer (Blaise Ingoglia) and our District's (24th District) Florida House Representative (Ryan Chamberlin).

This is our only Saturday Meeting this year, so it provides a chance for our working Gen-X members to attend!

PLEASE REMEMBER that if you are registered to vote in Florida, but expect to be out-of-state for the upcoming Primary Election Day (August 18), you need to request your "Vote-By-Mail" ballot well before the August 6 Deadline! Please be sure your vote counts. The primary election is IMPORTANT, often more important that the final General Election in November!
If you don't know how to request a
"Vote-By-Mail" ballot, be sure to ask
us at an upcoming meeting!

Come help us Celebrate our 250th Anniversary
as Republicans and in Style!

Come hear from:
Paul Renner (Senator
and Governor candidate)
Blaise Ingoglia (our Chief Financial Officer for Florida -
running for re-election)
Ryan Chamberlain
(our State Representative -
running for re-election)
