I was in Andy’s Family Restaurant last Saturday morning and who should walk in but State Rep. Mike Tryon (R-Crystal Lake).
Tryon, whom I discovered was there in his role as McHenry County Republican Central Committee Chairman, was having breakfast with Crystal Lake’s Bryan Javor, its newly-elected president.
He’s about the same age as I was when I took over the reins when Jack Schaffer was off the Germany to serve in the Armed Forces.
For once, I didn’t have my camera, but Javor handed me his cell phone as if I would know how to use it.
He showed me what button to push and you seen the result.
Later he sent me this press release:
MCGOP Launches “Young Republicans”
Crystal Lake, IL… September 3rd 2008 at approximately 7:45 PM the McHenry County Republican Central Committee chartered The McHenry County Young Republicans (MCYR) and the 48 members it represents.
The MCYR are the 11th state recognized Young Republican organization. Prairie Grove native and Nunda 21 Precinct Committeemen Brent Smith and Dan Regna founded the organization with the assistance of Republican Party leaders.

Later he emailed me this executive meeting notice:

The meeting will determine who is appointed as committee Chairmen.
The available committee positions are Bylaw Chairman, Social Chairman, Fundraising Chairman and Membership Chairman.
Positions will be determined in part based on responses received from the MCYR Chairman’s survey and emailed request for additional member involvement.
