YRFV eNewsletter - May/June 2008

YRFV Newsletter - May/June 2008 Edition Dear Virginia Young Republican, The Young Republicans in Virginia have been very busy between hosting such speakers as Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, Attorney General Bob McDonnell during our State Convention in April, volunteering on numerous campaigns,  planning our food bank drive for the Central Virginia Food bank, and participating in District conventions around the Commonwealth! Our YRFV State convention in Richmond on April 5th was a great success with seasoned speakers expressing their understanding of the importance of the youth vote and inspiring us to build the party with young professionals.  Check out our blog for an excellent summary of this annual event and read the article written by the Richmond Times Dispatch! We would like to thank those that were able to attend as well as our sponsors! The YRFV would like to congratulate Mike Ginsberg on becoming the 8th District GOP Chairman on Saturday, May 17th. Mike is the former YRFV Treasurer and YR State Central Representative. It goes to show Young Republicans are making a difference in many ways, including stepping up to be leaders on the state level! We know Mike will do an excellent job! The YRFV would also like to invite you to join us at our 3rd Annual YRFV Wine and Cheese reception on Friday evening 9:30 - 10:30pm at the Richmond Marriott Hotel. We will provide further details on room location at the State Central meeting and at registration.   Lastly, we are collecting canned food at the convention for the Central Virginia food bank which is located in Richmond. Please check out all the details below for drop off location and times during the convention as well as items we are collecting. Our organization continues to grow!

If you know of any young professionals in your area we welcome them to join us at YR meetings in their local area or start one in their area if there is not one already!  At the bottom of this email there is a YRFV Club report from each of our clubs around the Commonwealth. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at the Virginia State Convention this weekend! Yours in Republican Victory, Lori-Ann Miller YRFV Chairwoman
