AFCYRs Weekend Update

Blog 0 No Comments

Happy Friday and Happy Fathers Day Weekend!

While typical AFCYRs tradition puts our monthly meeting on the 3rd Monday of the month, we are going to be having our regular meeting on the 27th instead. We will also be holding our happy hour on July 10th instead of the 3rd, to avoid missing people out for travel on the 4th. Don’t worry though- after this month we will be returning to our regularly scheduled meetings!

Also for those in town this weekend looking for YR related activities, you can join us at the 2012 Young Republican Federation of Virginia Annual Meeting, held in Richmond, Virginia. The meeting will be held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center, 403 N. Third Street, Richmond Virginia and will begin promptly one hour after adjournment of the 2012 Republican Party of Virginia State Convention (approximately 2:30 PM). If you’re interested in learning more or attending the meeting, feel free to contact Heather Homan at heatherahoman@gmail.com.
