The Right Men’s Club
The Right Men’s Club is designed to help Republicans gather to share ideas, explore issues, and meet on a monthly basis to learn more about issues involving our government. We bring in experts on issues to discuss ways to ensure we keep the freedoms and values that founded America and made it the greatest country on earth. Women are always welcome to join or attend.
Each year, we provide numerous scholarships for Republican college students, Boy Scout camps, and technical training. We host an annual Salute to Veterans event where veterans are honored. Veterans from WWII and Korea are guests of sponsors who contribute to our event. In addition, we provide numerous donations to veteran service. We are proud of these accomplishments, and we look forward to building upon them.
Republican Ideals Needed
To ensure the strength of Republican ideals in our elected bodies, it is essential that we increase the participation of young people in our party. The world has changed dramatically in how people engage and communicate. It is no longer enough to hand out brochures and rely on word of mouth to attract the next generation of voters.
