Mark Your Calendar

This year our Lincoln Day Celebration will be much like it has been the past couple years.  Rather than doing a formal dinner and listening to a bunch of speeches, we will be having light refreshments, allowing you to mingle with and speak to your elected officials, party leaders, current Republican Candidates, and other Weber County Residents.

In other states and event like this could cost you as much as $10,000.  Not to worry though, we will be keeping the costs very low due to very generous donors.

More details to come, but for now mark your calendar for February 22nd from 6-9pm.  See you there!
