Convention events

The excitement builds! The invitations for convention events are coming in like crazy! It was dead quiet until just recently and suddenly my inbox is overflowing with invitations to parties, receptions, soirées, and full-blown convention events! Now comes the hard part of deciding which events we can attend and which we have to pass on. On top of the “will not miss” list is the event hosted by Phyllis Schlafly and The Republican National Coalition for Life. It’s called “The LIFE of the Party” and is dedicated and mobilized toward keeping the Republican Party platform pro-life. I am thrilled that the Honorable Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska will be there along with special guests Gary Bauer, Tony Perkins and Michele Bachmann!

Other invitations include a Monday luncheon with the Republican Leadership Council and features a presentation by pollster Frank Luntz. We are invited to another Monday event called a Red Carpet Women’s event which features conservative political strategist Mary Matalin. There are also two or three invites from various Veterans groups. Because of John McCain’s military background veterans will have a prominent role at the convention.

I am quite curious about an invitation to a private screening of “An American Carol”. It is described as an irreverent and politically incorrect comedy but also claims to be “a pro-American celebration to honor those serving our country”.

All of these invitations are appealing and I’m tempted to try and attend them all but several overlap each other so this will take some careful planning to be sure we attend those events which will have the most significance for us.

Tomorrow I will give you the stellar speaker line-up. It’s amazing!!
