No, we weren't able to attend from 700 miles away, but there was a nice crowd on hand today from all appearances as the Florence County Republican Party had the ribbon cutting ceremony for it's 2010 Campaign Headquarters. It's located on Sally Hill Rd, just off of North Cashua Dr. For those of you who depend more on landmarks, Sally Hill and Cashua is where Mr. Mark's FunPark is.....
Tom Grimes, Joe Griffin, RoseMary Parham and Stephanie Rawlinson at the ceremony...
The members worked very hard on getting the office ready, which is set up with an inside press conference room, phone bank and lots of room to pick up swag for your favorite candidates. No, there are no recycled Reino for Congress signs there.... Thanks to Matt Floyd for making the place available for the GOP. It sure beats the old digs. I once made calls from what used to be the old Rent a Wreck on Palmetto and Irby. Good location, but the amenities left something to be desired....
Jamie Rogers addresses the audience....
In an effort to make the locals feel that I do think they are doing a good job, I'll say this. They are more organized and motivated than what the GOP here was previously. It's only natural when the work is split up between numerous people. On the whole, the party is in much better shape and a lot stronger than when I first joined, and they deserve credit for their hard work. Good Job , guys. Now if I could just keep them off my butt for a while..... ;)
Thanks to Betty Dowling for posting these on her Facebook page, where I 'borrowed' them....

Mike-we had a really good turnout. Judging by the energy and momentum I saw Monday, the Florence SCGOP is taking some major steps in the right direction....teg
The red looks good.
