Here is an article for you Young Republicans. I can empathize with this article from our own experience. When there are fun activities like Christmas Parties, Debate Parties, Picnics, and Lincoln Day Dinners, they are heavily attended. But in between events at our meetings, it is very hard to get people to attend. Which sucks because those meetings are needed to pull those kind of events.
I would be slow to condemn leadership but I would like to see if there are people interested in taking more of a leadership role in our group, especially if you think I am doing a bad job.

Anyone reading and is interested in helping us reach out to our community, contact me (Alex Jordan) and then come to our Yearly Fiscal Meeting in June. We will be electing new officers and deciding how the club will proceed for the rest of the 2014 Election.
