Following up on the success of our first TechRepublican event, "Welcome to the Modern World," we're pleased to announce our next event, "Modern Mojitos," on Wednesday, July 30:

Modern Mojitos is the second of a series of events to help connect the DC-based TechRepublican community. The event will be held at The Rookery in Foggy Bottom from 6:30-9 PM. Beats will be provided by DJ Gindy.

Since this event will have an open bar and a limited budget, the event is private and a strict guest list will be enforced. After 9 PM, please join us at the event (cash bar).

So How Do You Get On The Guest List?
Each of the hosts listed on the invite have been given a handful of guest slots and a designated code that their guests will need to include with their RSVP. You should ask them if they have an open slot that you could use (or be reactive and wait for an invite).

This event is proudly sponsored by DAG, Slatecard, The Leadership Institute, Americans For Prosperity, SocialVoter, RightOnline, and Campaigns and Elections' Politics Magazine. And we can't thank them enough for their ongoing support of the TechRepublican community.

Hope to see you there.
