You can still pay the registration and participate in most of the convention, you just can't vote. Why Attend This Years Convention: Grassroots Training you can take back to your clubs: - Americans For Prosperity will conduct a Grassroots Training class from 11 to 1, with lunch provided on Friday Aug 6th. They will teach us how to blog, talk to the media, work on campaigns, etc. Very good benefit for you and your clubs. - MobilzeMeTv will conduct a training/informational meeting from 1:30 to 2:30, also on Friday, on how we can lead the way in using technology for this years elections, but also to grow our clubs, etc all using our cell phones. Texas has the opportunity to lead the way with Young Republicans. Don't want to miss out!. Participate in Helping The Community: We will be participating in a "Backpack Drive" For underpriviledged children all over East Texas. Please bring with you 1 generic backpack filled with school supplies. We will present these to the St. Paul Childrens Foundation. A foundation committed to helping East Texas Children in need. Hear from Elected Officials: We have State Rep. Wayne Christian speaking Saturday morning to discuss the Texas Conservative Coalition and how we can help. We are also planning a Energy Roundtable with the Texas Railroad Commission on Friday night, as well as our Gala Speaker, who we will announce soon! Networking with other Clubs and Club Presidents: What better way to connect and get new ideas for your club than to build relationships, network and share ideas with other clubs. We will do this through the entire weekend. I'm really excited about you coming to Tyler in August. Please register soon and reserve your hotel room as well. Going to be a great Convention! See You In Tyler, Nate Nate Lambert Vice Chair Texas Young Republican Federation 903-279-3086
