A HELPING HAND

Members of the Mid-Brookhaven Republican Club gave a helping hand to our candidate for Brookhaven Receiver of Taxes, Lou Marcoccia in putting some campaign material together for an upcoming event. This took place at the home of John and Pam Rago following a strategy meeting for an upcoming fundraiser for Councilwoman Kathy Walsh. Kathy pitched in as well. This is a perfect example of the willingness of our candidates to work together and help each other during the campaign to ensure victory in November. Thanks to Kathy and all who attended this meeting. More info about the fundraising event for Kathy will be coming soon. Click on the title of this blog to view more pictures of the evening.
