Happy New Year! Here’s a wish that 2012
will be a year of health and happiness for
all of our Club members and friends.
Obviously, this will be a very
eventful year for our Club, our party and
our nation.
Hopefully, by the end of the year
there will be a much-needed new Republican
President just a few days from the White
House.
Next
Thursday, January 12, the Club is very
pleased to welcome Mr. Henry Stern, the
former
New York City
Councilman and Parks Commissioner.
Mr. Stern is currently a leader of an
organization called New York Uprising, a
non-partisan, independent coalition formed
by former NYC Mayor Edward I. Koch that
advocates for meaningful government reform
across New York State.
While Mr. Stern is not a member of
our party, he has a reputation as one of the
truly original and provocative thinkers
about
New York City
and State government and he will be well
worth hearing.
The event runs from
6:30 to 8, with Mr. Stern beginning his
remarks around 7.
Refreshments will be served and the
event is open to both members and
nonmembers.
This should be an excellent event and
let’s greet Mr. Stern with a great
turnout.
Congratulations to Paul Niehaus, who
is now serving as the Club’s Executive
Vice President.
Also, our Nominating Committee is
pleased to announce that it will be
recommending at the annual meeting the
election of four great new members of the
Executive Committee.
Congratulations to Robert Fiore,
Troy
Johnson (who will be returning to the
Committee), Debbie Coughlin and Paul
Florcruz.
We very much look forward to working
with all of you!
Looking forward a bit, the next First
Thursday will be on February 2, whether or
not the groundhog sees its shadow that day.
It’s the usual great deal.
$10 for members and $20 for
nonmembers includes all refreshments.
If
you are not a member of the Club, why not
join now?
Joining the Club helps to strengthen
our organization’s role as an
island
of
Republican
common sense in
Manhattan
. In
addition, your membership gets you
significant discounts to a number of our
great events during the year (for example, a
$10 discount at the First Thursdays.)
To join, please go on our website, www.metclubnyc.org.
Or, if you are at one of our events,
just check in with our friendly bartender,
Jimmy Fider, who is also Chairman of our
Membership Committee.
