    November 2017 Greetings to our members and friends! Were you there at the Country Club for our Red, White & Blue Breakfast? If you were, you know what an outstanding event it was! A great beginning for an exciting campaign 2018. Our keynote speaker, Illinois Attorney General candidate Erika Harold was charming, informative and exciting as one of our leading candidates to make Illinois great again! And we were pleased that Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti joined us and graciously took so many questions. A big thank-you to Maria Dobben, Linda Slipke, Marilyn Smolenski, Char Foss-Eggemann and the many of our board members and added volunteers who made the morning so special. Our next gathering at Prospect Park will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 9, an evening with our county chairman, Cook County Commr. Sean Morrison, plus a special treat: entertaining author W.C. Augustine. And a week after Thanksgiving, we are all welcome to attend the GOP candidate forum jointly sponsored by Republicans of Maine Twp. and the Northside Republican Club. It’s at the Irish-American Heritage Center, nearby in northwest Chicago. Our candidates really need our help with circulating their petitions. They are due to be filed shortly after Thanksgiving, and some of the candidates need thousands of valid signatures. Won’t you please carry one or two petition sheets with you and get your friends and neighbors to sign? Let them know that signing the petition does not commit them to vote (though we hope they will!). We’ll have petitions available at our Nov.
