Letter from the Chairman: The County Convention is almost upon us. Thanks to the spectacular turnout at the January Caucuses Polk County generated 1126 delegates, over 500 alternates and 200 junior delegates. Thank you Polk County Republicans. This great turnout necessitated some changes in the Convention, starting with its location.
Needless to say, we couldn’t even have begun to put the Convention together, much less have to move a 1600 person event in less than eight weeks, without the great volunteer services of a lot of people. Polk County Republicans can be proud of the great services of our officers, especially CoChair Sarah Bowman and Secretary Emma Kreiss-Rittgers, our Platform Chair Jon Gruber and our intern/general secretary Sarah Cutshall. We couldn’t have even gotten off the ground without you guys, many many thanks.

Preliminary Agenda
2008 County Platform
Parking: There are a variety of parking locations. The large outdoor lots due north of Veteran’s Auditorium are probably the closest to the Convention Floor in HyVee Hall. There are two parking ramps west and south of HyVee Hall. The entire complex is surrounded by curbside parking on several streets, although not the major thoroughfares Second and Third Streets.
Reception: We are hosting a purely social reception the night before the Convention (March 7) from 5:30-8:00 p.m. on the ground floor of HyVee Hall. The reception is free for delegates and only $10 for everyone else.
