I have invited Charles Lollar to a Meet & Greet!

Charles started the PAC called New Day Maryland a couple of years ago. After he was defeated in his race against Steny Hoyer , he set his focus on the issues in Maryland through his PAC.

This morning, after picking myself up & dusting myself off and realizing I have 2 choices: either give up (not in my nature & somehing I will never do) or try to make a difference...I got an idea. I contacted the most positive person I know in politics - Charles Lollar. I know this is Pollyanna but I can't help it - I SO believe in him & his vision for Maryland. I cannot sit & do nothing.

I invited Charles to one of our Meet & Greets to get together with other like minded Conservatives to talk about the general issues in Maryland and the country.

He accepted!

I think it would be nice to hear his take on the current state of affairs and maybe some idea on how to make a difference. Or just to chew the fat with.

I'm sure he needs to coordinate this with a very full schedule so I would like to set this for at least couple of weeks in the future. Any ideas on where and when? Pls. give your input!

No specific suggestion other than try for a place that won't get antsy if we stay too long or have too many folks and I'll definitely try to make this one!

Just a thought...maybe some place with a banquet room? (my first thought was something like Mamma Lucia). They have a minimum requirement for their banquet rooms, so you'd have to have a pretty good idea of how many folks would be coming. A banquet room would also provide for a setting where Charles could be heard instead of talking over the whole restaurant.

Lets keep it small and cozy. Lots of ppl read this forum and I'd prefer it be more personable than a larger crowd.

I'd be interested in attending, but tentative based on day/time.

This was my original intent- but I will ask what Charles is up for.

Too late - by inviting everyone on the forums in a public thread, you have ensured that it will be a large crowd.

Call Toot's and see if Pat will let you do it there. I can't think of any restaurant that will be able to hold a political rally.
