The Wachusett Area Republican Town Committees will be hosting a debate party this Friday, September 26, starting at 8:00pm, upstairs at the Mountain Barn. The Mountain Barn is in Princeton on route 31, just north of the post office. Friday evening offers us the opportunity to informally get together and to get to know each other better. We will gather 'round the TV and cheer for the home team!
There is no charge since this is not a fundraiser, however we will have jars set up representing each town and if you'd like to toss a few dollars into the container with your rtc's name on it, please do.
So come to the Mountain Barn Friday and party with your fellow republicans. There is no doubt in my mind we will have fun.

Campaign for McCain
On Thursday, September 11, State Representative Lew Evangelidis called together a group of people interested in campaigning for Senator John McCain. Rep. Evangelidis' request brought forth a tremendous show of support, so much so , the crowd spilled into the hallway at the Holden Senior Center. 
First on the to do list was organizing a stand-in stand-out at Union Station for the start of "Good Morning America's" Whistle Stop Tour. That, plus phone banking, both in central Massachusetts and in New Hampshire, offer a promising beginning to efforts to boost the vote for John McCain. Pictured with Representative Evangelidis is Reed Hillman, former candidate for Lt. Governor. Mr. Hillman emphasizes a point . . .
. . . then reaches out to his audience to drive it home.
Six republicans smile for the camera. State Representative Lew Evangelidis, Reed Hillman, Ed Bracebridge, State Committee Man Lance May, former legislative aide Mary Fudeman and State Committee Man Bill McCarthy
Aw, c'mon Guys, loosen up.
Getting more relaxed.
Now they're smiling!

Our Hearts Are With You, Texas
Again we pause for our fellow Americans. This time we think of our brothers and sisters along the Texas coastline, particularly those along the outlying islands of the Galveston area. They were hard hit not only by Hurricane Ike but also by water that preceded and followed Ike's enormous path. Our thoughts and prayers reach out to the rescue workers, the victims and their families and government officials who are coordinating the efforts to restore order.

Saturday Morning At The Bagel Inn
On Saturday, September 6th, republicans from Holden, Rutland and Princeton gathered at the Bagel Inn to sip coffee and talk politics. This weekly tradition, originally inspired by the Shrewsbury rtc, began last March, and with the exception of the summer months, has continued since. As evidenced by the picture above, the Bagel Inn has become a watering hole of ideas such as the one being posed by State Representative Lew Evangelidis. Marshall Horwitz and Ed Bracebridge listen closely.
Ed Bracebridge explains an idea to Marshall Horwitz and Dave White. Ed, along with Jim Provencher, thought of holding a party on the evening of the first presidential debate, Friday September 26. 
Marshall Horwitz conducts a straw poll around the table about the feasibility of success of the Worcester airport. He asks Lew Evangelidis his opinion first.

Everett Needham Field House Is Dedicated
Click here to enlarge picture of ribbon cutting ceremony.
On Sunday, August 31st, Kim and Ted Goodnow, Kathy Sweeney and Ed Carlson dedicated and presented to the town of Princeton the Everett Needham Field House. Located at Krashes Field, the new building is fashioned after the Summit House that once sat atop Mt. Wachusett. The wrap around porch on three sides adds to the elegance of the new building. Above, Kathy Sweeney cuts the ribbon to make it official.
State Representative Lew Evangelidis and Ed Carlson shake hands on the porch of the newly dedicated field house. Kim Goodnow, Kathy Sweeney, Juliet Eicholzer, Beth Toohey and Phyllis Booth are interested in the conversation.
Selectmen Alan Sentkowski, Joe O'Brien and Raymond Dennehy, along with Ed Carlson, participate in some squirt gun mania in celebration of the completion of Princeton's newest town building. But who's the guy in the middle?
Lew Evangelidis confers with Selectman Raymond Dennehy in front of the new Everett Needham Field House while Kevin Toohey looks on.
As the celebration draws to a close and the sun begins to set, Raymond Dennehy, Ed Carlson and Tom Tinory prepare to hit a few from the top of the hill near the flag pole onto the soccer field below. Next step? Make your way down the steep brushy bank and retrieve those golf balls. Thank you Kim, Ted, Kathy & Ed for such an amazing gift.

Thanksgiving
We are a grateful nation, thankful that our brothers and sisters in the Gulf Coast region have been spared. Our thoughts and prayers continue to reach out to the people of New Orleans as they return to their homes. We ask that their lives may return to normal and that their communities may become stronger as a result of having bonded together during the lead-up and in the hurricane we call Gustav.

Canobie Lake Park and The State House
After having recently visited Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire with his family, House Minority Leader Brad Jones compared the atmosphere there with that on Beacon Hill. In yesterday's Telegram & Gazette (8/31/08, A11) Representative Jones is quoted as saying, "It's a lot like being at the State House. There's a cast of characters, there's a lot of noise, and you can't really tell what's going on."
