Wow, what a whirlwind couple of weeks we've had at Multnomah County GOP HQ! It's been a while since we've updated you, so we wanted to let you know the latest news.

First off, you've surely seen the mountain of press that we received regarding the change in venue for our event. REST ASSURED - this event is still going on, and tickets are selling FAST! We were able to quickly secure a new venue once we saw the public pressure campaign that was mounted by the liberal activists in Portland - a pressure campaign that caused our original venue to cancel the contract. Despite taking their best shot, the Multnomah County Republicans are still standing, and we're going to have one seriously successful Lincoln Day Dinner.

The event will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel on Airport Way. Everything else remains unchanged.

So, about ticket sales: last night at the Executive Club meeting, we sold three more tables, and we can announce that we are now ahead of the pace we set at our 2012 Lincoln Day Dinner. We've sold more tickets at this stage than in any year in recent memory. Not only did the leftist activists in Portland not deter us, it seems they've given our supporters a stronger resolve to fight back!

So what does this mean for you? It means that you should get your tickets ASAP! We anticipate a large crowd, and we want to give the banquet hall an accurate RSVP count ahead of time so they can plan their staffing and resources properly. Individual tickets are only $65, and if you can round up enough folks for a table of 10, that will only cost you $550.

And just in case you need some convincing that this is going to be an event you won't want to miss, take a look at the video of Rafael Cruz from 2013 that we've posted at the website by CLICKING HERE.
