FNFRW Members:

 

This is the latest packet from the RPOF regarding the exciting Presidency IV to be held in Orlando beginning October 20 including the required application to become part of the ticket lottery.

 

The FNFRW Board of Directors changed the original 2007 Orlando Convention dates to occur just prior to this event and convention information will soon be distributed.

 

In the mean time, it is very important that club members complete an ambassador application immediately as there will be NO OTHER opportunity to obtain a ticket to Presidency IV.  Applications are due by June 15th. 

 

All tickets will come through a July lottery held at each county Republican Executive Committee.  Every Republican grassroots volunteer will have an equal opportunity to purchase the $100 ticket in the lottery whether you are an REC member or not. But, now might be a great time to join your local REC as a precinct committeewoman and get more involved in county politics.
