A Night of Laughter In Suffolk

by Chris Como, Suffolk YRs

The Suffolk County Young Republicans recently held their Comedy Night 2008 on April 29th at the Elk’s in Patchogue, Long Island.

The event was a huge success, raising significant money for the club as well as offering a great night of entertainment.

As a club, we are always looking for fresh ideas on how to raise money for the club and at the same time avoid the traditional chicken dinner fundraiser.

With a comedy night, we were able to attract not only our traditional Republican supporters, but also our family, friends, and co-workers who may not be extremely interested in politics.

What made the event even easier to assemble was the fact that one of our local committeemen is a professional comedian, who was able to book all the comedians for a very low fee. The five comedians performed one after another and seemed to get funnier as they went on. With the funds we raised at the events we will continue our outreach to recruit new members.

Judging by the fun that was had by the standing room only crowd and the money that was generated, we look forward to making this an annual event.
