This past Friday, December 11, Leominster, along with State Representative Lew Evangelidis, hosted a fundraiser for Scott Brown, candidate for U.S. Senate. Energy, life, and enthusiasm permeated the room, and a down home spirit predominated. John Souza, Chairman of the Leominster Republican City Committee, and Frank Ardinger, Vice-Chairman, planned the occasion. What may have contributed to their success of packing renovated Mason Hall? Each of the 230 people who received e-mail invitations from Mr. Ardinger also got at least one follow-up phone call, plus Rep. Evangelidis got behind this event and promoted it.
John Souza opened the meeting with stirring comments which he said afterwards, "came from the heart." Bob Lashua talked about the importance of making phone calls for Scott Brown and invited everyone to stop by Headquarters in Worcester. Representative Evangelidis spoke eloquently about his Grandmother coming to America and laying her eyes on the Statue of Liberty as she sailed into New York Harbor. He then introduced Scott, who voiced many common sense concerns he has about this country, especially involving governmental fiscal responsibility in this economic downturn.
Didwell to John Souza and Frank Ardinger.
