Help out WICRs and UWGOP at the WI GOP convention!

As many of you know, May 21 to May 23 is the Republican Party of Wisconsin's (RPW) annual convention. This year it will be held in Milwaukee at the Hyatt Regency Hotel (333 W Kilbourn Ave). Our organization and the Wisconsin Federation of College Republicans (WICRs) are looking for volunteers to help out with the event. This is a great way to network and get involved in the biggest Republican event for the state! RPW is even providing a few rooms for the Federation.

Nighttime activities are also typically fun and may involve going out to eat and drink in Milwaukee or enjoying many other activities that the city has to offer. College Republicans will be getting into the social on Friday at the Harley Davidson Museum for $10 and will be able to get into the convention free as well. If you would like to attend the chairman's banquet (see attached schedule) it will cost $35. Both these fees are significantly lower then what the average delegate would pay.

If you're in the Milwaukee area, want to get an early start on getting involved in the crucial 2010 election year, please consider helping us out! Please email Stephen Duerst at wicrexecutivedirector@gmail.com and let me know if your interested.

EVEN IF YOU ARE ONLY ABLE TO HELP US OUT FOR SOME OF THE EVENT, WE COULD STILL USE YOU! More information on convention can be found here as well: http://www.wisgop.org/site/c.rtJUJ4MNIqE/b.5831369/k.7FD9/2010_WISGOP_State_Convention.htm
