First off, congratulations to Kevin Cerino, Miami Young Republicans club chairman and past president. He was recently elected secretary of the Florida Federation of Young Republicans! Kevin will be part of the executive board of the statewide organization we are a member of, and at last Saturday's meeting in addition to the elections we also heard from several prominent statewide politicians including Bill McCollum, Jeff Kottkamp and Pam Bondi.
There's a lot going on with the Miami Young Republicans. Here are just a few upcoming opportunities for you to get involved...
* Friday, June 18 at 5:30 pm is our next social. Join us for happy hour at La Palma, located at 116 Alhambra Circle in Coral Gables. Kick off the weekend in style at this lovely bar and restaurant with your fellow Young Republicans. If you plan to attend, check out http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=133900726621926&ref=ts and let us know you're coming!
* Saturday, June 19 at 9:00 am Miami YRs member and state house candidate Juan D'Arce is having a breakfast meet-and-greet at Islas Canarias restaurant, which is located at 13697 SW 26 Street (Coral Way) in Miami. Check out his website, www.juan2010.com, for information.
* Tuesday, June 22 is our next general meeting. We start with a happy hour at 6:30 pm (2 for 1!), and the meeting itself at 7:30 pm. We have a great agenda for the meeting:
- A recap of the FFYR annual meeting
- A review of our club offices that will be up in the July election (and candidates can announce!)
- US House district 20 candidate Donna Milo
- A discussion featuring official representatives speaking FOR and AGAINST Amendment 4, the Florida Hometown Democracy Amendment. This may be the most hotly contested amendment on the ballot this Fall. One recent article said "Hometown Democracy's Amendment 4 is either Floridians' "final opportunity" to take control of the state's growth or a Trojan horse that would make matters worse." Which is it? Well, we hope you'll come and ask!
* Charlies "Charlie" Lopez is a member of our club and a candidate for state house district 118. He's hosting a special campaign event on July 4 at the Black Point Marina and Homestead Harris Field from 6pm - 8pm. Come help pass out campaign literature and stay for the fireworks.
