2025 Holiday Food Drive for Veterans

This winter, we worked together to support our veteran community through our Holiday Food Drive. Thank you for bringing non-perishable food items to donate to Operation Stand Down Rhode Island. Your contribution will supplement a holiday meal for our nation's heroes.

Fall 2025 Voter Registration Drive

Our committee reached out to the community at the Fry Farm Fall Festival on October 11th. It was great to speak with residents and encourage them to get everyone eligible in their family registered to vote. You can also register quickly and easily online at https://vote.sos.ri.gov/Home/RegistertoVote.

2025 Spring Fundraiser

Thank you for joining us for this exciting talk with Chinese dissident, American activist, author, and survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution Xi Van Fleet. Ross Connolly, from Americans for Prosperity, also spoke about their mission and provided each guest with a hardcover copy of Xi's book Mao's America, which she signed.

EGRTC Sponsors Wreaths Across America 2024

Together with other Republican Town Committees, on December 14th, 2024, some members of the EGRTC participated in the Wreaths Across America (WAA) program at Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Exeter, RI. The ceremony and wreath laying on the graves of military members served to “remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach our children the value of freedom.” The EGRTC also donated nine wreaths to the organization as part of our annual support of this mission. The moving ceremony included Sea Cadets & Civil Air Patrol who honored the Gold Star Families. Also, the Rhode Island Chapter of Rolling Thunder and local youth sports teams were on hand to share in the occasion.

The WAA organization provides comfort to grieving families who visit the resting places of their loved ones at the holidays and honors the sacrifice these heroes made on behalf of our country. You can sponsor a wreath at any time of year by going to their website. The next WAA event will take place on December 13, 2025.

EAST GREENWICH MAIN STREET STROLL 2024

Republican candidates for Town Council Kurt Hamel and Peter Rodgers and School Committee candidate Schuyler Weiss greeted lots of friendly folks at the August Main Street Stroll. Our favorite question from a little future voter: "Are you running for President?"

SIGNING PARTY 2024

In order for our candidates to get on the ballot, they needed to obtain signatures on their nomination papers from registered East Greenwich voters which we gathered at our Signing Party on Monday, July 8th. We were delighted to see many friends old and new who came out to support our candidates. The minimum number of signatures required by the Board of Elections for each candidate is 50, but we obtained almost 100! Thank you for your support!

2024 FOOD DRIVE FOR OPERATION STAND DOWN RHODE ISLAND

Thanks to the generosity of those who attended our April meeting, these pantry staples were delivered to Operation Stand Down Rhode Island to support veterans in need.

EARTH DAY CLEAN UP

Thank you to these fine people who helped with our Earth Day Clean Up on April 21, 2024. They removed lots of trash and downed branches from EG Historic Cemetery #30, the resting place of the Johnson Family. Due to its proximity to South County Trail, there was all kinds of rubbish that had accumulated. They also removed a worn American Flag which will be properly disposed of. Now, visitors have a clear path to the gravesites of some of our town’s early residents.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY BALLOT SIGNATURE PARTY 2024

On January 6, the EGRTC hosted a Signature Party to allow registered East Greenwich voters to stop by and sign presidential primary ballots. Voters enjoyed yummy refreshements and good conversation while taking part in this important civic opportunity. In Rhode Island, presidential candidates must obtain 1000 signatures in order to appear on the ballot.

TRIVIA NIGHT FUNDRAISER 2023

On October 16, the EGRTC hosted a fun and family-friendly Trivia Night event at The Patio on Main Restaurant. All the "wicked smaht" people gathered for some healthy competition and a chance to prove their knowledge of history, politics, and pop culture. The winning team walked away with bragging rights and a gift card to The Patio. Our MC for the evening was the talented comedian Mike Murray. We also had a silent auction, all proceeds of which went towards our campaign fund for our 2024 candidates for local and state office.
