2008 Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner a success

Thanks to the hard work of countless volunteers who sold tickets, made plans, decorated, donated auction items, and worked hard before, during, and after the event — the 2008 LRDD is in the books and was a great success.

1.  We had a capacity of 300 tickets and sold every one — there were only a few open seats to be seen at the dinner Saturday night.

2.  Our silent and live auctions, 50/50 raffle, and book sales brought in nearly $6000.

3.  Nearly every candidate for statewide, legislative or county elections was present.

4.  The meal was great!

5.  Our keynote speaker, Michael Graham, was a big hit — funny, provocative, inspiring…

A big thanks to everyone who made the evening come together!  This was a great way to launch into the next phase of the 2008 campaign season.

NEARLY SOLD OUT — only a handful of LRDD tickets left

You can call Jack Chandler at 670-7705 to check on availability, but by the time you read this, the last tickets to the 2008 Yellowstone County LRDD may have been sold.

Michael Graham to headline March 29th Yellowstone County Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner

Boston talk-radio personality, Boston Herald columnist, and National Review Online contributor Michael Graham will be headlining the Yellowstone County Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner in Billings on March 29th.

His humorous delivery of a serious conservative message is one you won’t want to miss.

Click here to purchase tickets.

From his bio:

After spending six years as a touring national comedian appearing with stars like Jerry Seinfeld and Robin Williams, Michael Graham became a GOP political consultant, working on successful campaigns from Chicago to the Carolinas.

Graham is a frequent guest on national TV and radio shows, appearing as the “token conservative”  on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Hardball with Chris Matthews and the Don Imus radio program, among others.

He’s the author of three books of political humor and analysis, including REDNECK NATION: How the South Really Won The War.

As you can imagine, thriving as a conservative talk-radio host in liberal Boston, Massachusetts takes a pretty healthy sense of humor!  Michael will make for an entertaining but serious touch with which to end this year’s LRDD.
