"One of the penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors." - Plato
Meeting Notice. The next meeting of the Adams County Republican Party ACRC is scheduled for Tuesday, June 2,
2015 at 7 PM with check in at 6:30 PM.
Location: FRONT RANGE AIRPORT in Watkins Colorado.
Address: 5200 Front Range Pkwy, Watkins, CO 80137.
The rationale for having it a Front Range is to give those who live on the EAST side of the County to have a
somewhat shorter drive to meeting. It's the fair thing to do given that those of us who live out East have always
traveled in excess of 80 miles roundtrip to attend ACRC meetings.
We will alternate between West Side and East Side for meetings.

the Reagan Club BBQ. The cost is $5 per person for 2 hot dogs or 1 hamburger, a bag of chips, potato
salad, baked beans, a bottle of water, and a cookie.
