“My name is Patrick Macaluso. I am currently a freshman at the College of William & Mary. I am sending you this email to formally declare my candidacy for Secretary of the College Republican Federation of Virginia.

These times are very busy and exciting. I am proud to be a part of the College Republicans, and I appreciate the support and encouragement I have received from my colleagues ever since I arrived at William & Mary.

Rebekah Blackwell, the current Chairman of the University of Mary Washington College Republicans and a junior, has announced she is running for the Treasurer of the CRFV. Below is Rebekah’s statement:

“I just wanted to announce that I will be running for Treasurer of the CRFV. I am a junior at the University of Mary Washington and currently our chairman. Perhaps a more important fact is that I’m a business major with a concentration in accounting, which should be very useful to the position of treasurer.

As treasurer I will not only maintain financial record for the club, but I will actively seek donations from politicians and organizations that we are involved with. As chairman at UMW I have raised nearly $1,000 in donations over the past month, which gives me experience that I will use on the state level.

If anyone has any comments or questions for me please do not hesitate to ask. I am very excited about this upcoming year and look forward to potentially working with the other candidates who are running. I look forward to seeing each one of you at the Advance, particularly to meeting those who I don’t already know”.

The 2007 College Republican Federation of Virginia Annual Convention is set for Saturday, December 1st from 2 PM- 4 PM at the Jefferson-Kennedy Room at the RPV Advance. The convention is free to all College Republicans.
