Marko Sukovic, chairman of Vernon Township Republicans, reflected on a membership drive event for the local Republican Party organization for Vernon Township in Lake County, Illinois. In a statement posted to the organization's website July 28, Sukovic highlighted that attendees felt more motivated to be involved.
“Summer can be an incredibly busy time for us all but it was such a pleasure to get our organization together to celebrate and catch up with each other. We welcomed three new couples to our organization," Sukovic said in a news release. "Attendees left feeling inspired about the community we are building at VTR and focused about the work ahead. A main point of discussion among the group was about planning for the future and the priorities of our team as we head into yet another election year.”
The event took place at the home of Terri and Rick Scardino in Long Grove, according to the release.
