To all Republicans, Friends, and Guests, 

Welcome Delegates to the Sixth Congressional District Republican Convention. An exciting day is planned for Saturday, May 5^th, in Lexington, VA with great political speeches from U.S. Senate and 6th Congressional District Candidates and a Bar-B-Q  lunch provided by Congressman Bob Goodlatte. This is a family friendly convention, so moms bring your young children. We have a room set a side for toddlers and infants.

The doors for the Convention will open to Delegates at 8:30 a.m. with coffee and refreshments available. Please dress casually and comfortably. By all means wear your favorite political outfit or hat. The Convention will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., but registration will remain open to 10:30 a.m. for late comers (if you are late you may miss out on part of the fun).

Some general information for candidates who will be speaking:   U.S. Senate and Congressional District Candidates have up to 5 minutes to speak; Candidates for State Central, RNC Delegates, RNC Alternates, and Regional vice Chairs will get up to 2 minutes only. So print up your fliers to hand out to Delegates for your campaign. Delegates will be seated according to unit committee.

Once delegates check in please do not lose your name tag. Showing your name tag is the only way you will receive a ballot at voting time. When Delegates signed up at your mass meetings, there was a request for a voluntary fee of $20 to help cover the expenses of the District Convention so please consider a contribution if you have not contributed.

It is also extremely important that all Delegates know that if they plan to submit Resolutions then they must follow this procedure: Any resolution needs to be submitted in advance of the District Convention to District Chairman, Wendell Walker, 2421 Old Forest Road, Lynchburg, Va. 24501 or by attachment to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it   (who will forward  the Resolution to the Resolutions’ Committee by 8:00 p.m. Friday May 4th.)

Last I would like to say thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to join us Saturday. There is no question about the importance of this election year and what it means for our future and families, so let's get started this weekend. Come have fun, meet new friends and work for a Republican Victory this November.

Sincerely,
Wendell Walker
