Dinner with the RNC Chairman

Members of the Seton Hill College Republicans had the unique opportunity to meet, and eat dinner with, the chairman of the Republican National Party yesterday. Chairman Ken Mehlman was in town to rally the volunteers for one of the most important races in the country: Sen. Rick Santorum's re-election.

Five of the CR's (pictured) were able to shake hands with and speak to Ken while working at the Victory Center in downtown Greensburg. We were there volunteering at the phone bank when Ken arrived to thank all of the workers for their continuing efforts. It was a real honor to meet the man who has done so much for the Republican party (and for the President, as head campaign director in 2004).

Later that evening, ten CR's attended a dinner presented by the Westmoreland County Republicans at the Greensburg Country Club. Ken Mehlman, along with US Congressman Tim Murphy, spoke at the event. The dinner allowed the SHU College Republicans to meet many of the directors, coordinators, and volunteers for a number of the campaigns they will be working with.

The CR's would like to thank Perry Christopher, Chairman of the Westmoreland County Republicans, for inviting us to the dinner.
