Trail Blazer, Non-Profit and Political Talk!

Last week the RNC was in St Paul and Minneapolis.  It was an interesting time, some of us were able to get tickets to the convention hall and I can tell you it was very interesting.  Since we work with all stripes, in regards to our political clients, here at Trail Blazer we looked at the event as interested observers.  I have to tell you if you have never been to a political convention they have some very colorful people attend, and this national convention was no exception.  Everyone was very nice, very talkative and very much in love with their party.  Lot’s of delegates collected pins and buttons, t-shirts and hats.

I have to say we at Trail Blazer really enjoyed the time we spent at the convention events.

Breakfast this morning (9/3/2008) for Oklahoma and Louisiana was something we did to thank the many republican clients we have in Louisiana.

While we are a non-partisan firm with so many of our clients in Louisiana being republicans we thought this breakfast was a good way to thank them and there supporters.

The Oklahoma delegates were very nice.

The speaker that was lined up for this breakfast was amazing, former congressman from Oklahoma  J.C Watts, Jr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JC_Watts) he was dynamic and funny and really kept the audience in his grasp.

After the breakfast we handed out our information to the many people who attended.

Later that day I just happened to walk by the area was the Oklahoma delegates were getting their photos taken for the convention.  I got stopped because they had questions about Trail Blazer.  It was very nice to see that so many people remembered us and asked more questions about Trail Blazer.’

We at Trail Blazer have some friends in Louisiana and Gustav has caused a lot of concern.  With the RNC happening this week we joined some of our friends who are with the Louisiana delegation to the RNC for breakfast this morning.  It was announced that Cindy McCain would appear to say a few words but who should appear with her but Laura Bush.  That was a good treat.  They had kind words to say and good wishes for all in the Gulf Coast area.  We here at Trail Blazer are thinking of all the Gulf Coast area in this time of bad weather.
