The Republican Club of the Palm Beaches kicked off 2011 with our first meeting on January 26th with a group of enthusiastic members and their guests. It was great to see so many people staying involved in our local, state and national politics.
We were honored to be joined at our first meeting by local candidate, George Carter, running for Mayor of Riviera Beach. A graduate of Riviera Beach High School and Barry University, Carter served as director of the Riviera Beach Municipal Marina from 1990-2006. Since that time Carter has served as president of the Riviera Beach Maritime Academy.
Several of our members had an opportunity to speak with Carter who firmly believes in the economic growth of Rivera Beach, and the importance of educating our youth. Carter is working with Enid Atwater in coordinating his candidacy, and he is currently seeking volunteers for all aspects of the campaign. You can sign-up to help at carter4mayor.com. The election will be held Tuesday, March 8, 2011.
Our guest speaker for the day was Sid Dinerstein, Chairman of the Republican Party of Palm Beach County. Sid spoke about the results and statistics from the 2010 election cycle, and gave a preview to the upcoming Presidential race. He commented on our new Florida state legislature and governor, and noted that this group will be closely watched by all as Florida brings forth its legislative agenda.
Sid also reminded everyone of the upcoming Lincoln Day Dinner on February 24th which serves as the Republican Party of Palm Beach County’s principal fundraiser. If you have not yet purchased your tickets, please do so as RCPB has tables at the event.
We were fortunate to have several books as door prizes donated by Col. Arthur DeRuve and several members and guests were the lucky recipients in our drawing.
We look forward to a great year as we round the corner on to 2012, and many thanks to all the members who brought guests to our meeting.
