2011-03-25T13:49:00.000-04:00

We had a very productive meeting last night. We have amended the By-Laws to allow for the creation of for standing sub-committees to better enable the committee to achieve its primary purpose of assisting Republican candidates in local, state and national elections. The committees are:

Finance Committee
Candidate's Committee
Public Relations Committee, and
Outreach Commitee.

Anyone interested in serving on any of these committees should contact me at Brad (at) BradMarston (dot) com.

We will also be hosting a Fund Raiser for Peter Durant on Wednesday, April 13th. More details to come soon.

On Saturday, April 30th we will be participating in both the Beacon Hill Shines and Back Bay Alley Rally annual spring clean up.

Let me also welcome our four new members, Deborah Branting, Shirley Marston, William Schulz and John Sullivan.

Also check back here soon for the link to our new website!

I am very excited about the changes that are developing here with the Boston Ward 5 Republican Committee.
