Last Thursday, ROWT held a fundraiser at Palm Court in Arlington Heights. It did not disappoint.
To a packed room, our special guest speaker, State Representative Marty McLaughlin, gave an informative and entertaining presentation on the state of our state, and took questions from attendees.
Also presenting were:
- Elk Grove Republican Committeeman Ed Lapinski, who discussed the near-full slating of Republican candidates on November's ballot
- Eric Angerer, National Committeeman for the Illinois Young Republicans and Chairman of North Cook Young Republicans, who discussed his outreach and achievements for the Young Republicans of Illinois
- David Mathis, Candidate for Illinois Senate
- Elizabeth Bauer, Candidate for the Illinois House
- Roberto Rabaina, Candidate for Harper College Board
Also honored to have in attendance: Northfield Township Republican Committeeman T.J. Brown and Schaumburg Township Republican Committeeman Joseph Folisi.
A very special thank you from ROWT to Michele Hunter, James Thacker, and Joseph and Theresa Murglin, who made this event a resounding success and a fun evening for all!
