No Meeting for March or April

We will not be holding a meeting in March or April, due to various campaigns going on.

We will be having our yearly picnic in June.

February 2008 Meeting Scheduled

Our next meeting of the SCS Republicans will be held on Wednesday, February 27th at 7:00pm!

I encourage everyone to arrive early and patronize our host restaurant, Rose’s Family Dining at 31301 Harper Avenue. Many of our members show up early, and it is a good way to socialize and catch up!

Our last meeting was in November, 2007… a long time ago. Since our last meeting, we have a Presidential nominee… and several local campaigns have been launched. This will be an important year for Republicans, both locally and nationally. St. Clair Shores Republicans can make a difference in all of them, and we need your support!

I look forward to seeing you at our meeting on Wednesday. If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at (248) 217-4745 or email me at chairman@scsgop.com.

Best regards,

We've been on hiatus

We apologize for not holding regular meetings, as our website clearly indicates. It appears that some folks showed up at Rose's Family Dining in December and found that nobody was around.

Because the 2008 year will be busy with campaigns, politics... and many other activities we all enjoy... we will be holding bi-monthly meetings.

Again, I apologize to anyone who came to Rose's in December and found nobody around to chair a meeting!

Best regards,

No Meeting for January 2008

Happy New Year, everyone!

2008 will be an exciting year. St. Clair Shores will be involved in major elections this year, including the following races:

President of the United States

United States Senate

United States House of Representatives

Michigan House of Representatives

Macomb County Board of Commissioners

Because of the exciting year, and a lot of activities and campaigning to do, we will be planning our meetings a little more carefully. Once a meeting schedule has been developed, we will post it on the website and send it to members.

There will be no meeting in January. We will be having our next meeting in February. Please keep an eye on your mailbox for the reminder postcard!

Best regards,
Jeremy Nielson,
Chairman, SCSGOP

No Meeting for December 2007

Due to the Christmas holidays, and many people traveling, we will not be holding a meeting in December.

We will be scheduling the January meeting soon - and inviting a guest speaker to address the St. Clair Shores Republican Committee.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

November Meeting Announced

Almost the End of 2007!

This will be the last meeting of the St. Clair Shores Republicans before the January 15th Primary! We will not be holding a meeting in December.

At our meeting we will be discussing the candidates for President, and other possible "initiatives" on the ballot. Please feel free to bring candidate literature, and a neighbor or friend!
