The Leadership Institute, an organization that trains conservative activists is coming to Crystal Lake’s Rib House next Saturday.

The cost is $25 and that includes a meal,  (I’m hoping the meal includes the yummy pulled pork the restaurant features.)

The Algonquin Township Republican Central Committee will reimburse $15 of the cost to Precinct Committee who attend.

Here are the details.

Considering County Board candidates will have opponents in at least five of six districts, I would recommend all who win the primary come to the classes.
