The Republican Party of Florida is pleased to announce that on Thursday, November 3rd, 2011, Governor Sarah Palin will join Republicans for the RPOF’s most important fundraising event of the year. The 2011 RPOF Victory Dinner will be held at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort in Orlando. The annual dinner will bring key Republican activists and donors together from around the state.

“This gala dinner comes just a year before one of the most important elections in Florida and the nation’s history,” said RPOF Chairman Lenny Curry. “Having a Republican leader of Governor Palin’s stature and importance is yet again proof of the crucial role Florida will play as the year unfolds. We are so grateful that Governor Palin has accepted our invitation.”

Florida Governor Rick Scott added, “Our next Republican nominee for President will need to win Florida in 2012, and the Republican Party of Florida will be critical to that mission. Governor Palin’s participation in our Victory Dinner next month will help to ensure that we have the resources necessary to take back the White House.”
