We have a motto here at the Champlain College Republicans... "Let's not focus on the fact that you came late to the party, but rather embrace the fact that you came at all." And by golly, for the first time in a couple of years, the Vermont College Republicans held their Convention this weekend!
A lot was acccomplished, and it was awesome to see so many Vermont Republican College Students together working towards a common goal.
Vermont's own Governor Jim Douglas stopped by and addressed the Convention. Also, Mr. Schiavone, the National Committeeman from the Vermont Republican Party surprised us all and showed up with his lovely wife too! It really was a great time.
Students from Champlain College, St. Michael's College, Middlebury College and Johnson State College took the time on a Saturday... a Saturday late in the semester mind you, to elect new officers and begin to build what is going to be a truly outstanding organization!
