HAMPTON – The Franklin County Republican Central Committee has announced the addition of two guests to their “Legacy of Leadership” event in honor of Franklin County native, Congressman Tom Latham. A meet and greet with State Treasurer Candidate Sam Clovis will be held from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. during golf registration and lunchtime at the Ridge Stone Clubhouse in Sheffield, and Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey has confirmed his attendance for the evening meal and program.
Last month, Franklin County Republicans announced an event to recognize the service of retiring Congressman Tom Latham. Latham was born in Hampton, raised on a farm near Alexander, and represented Franklin County residents in the U.S. House of Representatives for the largest portion of his Congressional career. First elected from Iowa’s former 5th Congressional District in 1994, Latham earlier this year announced his intentions to retire from the Federal Legislature when his term expires at the end of 2014.
The event, “Legacy of Leadership Day”, will be held on Saturday, September 27th at Sheffield’s Ridge Stone Golf Club, and will feature an 18-hole golf tournament at Noon with registration to begin at 11 a.m. Evening plans include social hour at 5:30 p.m., followed by a meal at 6:30 p.m. Members of the Franklin County Republican Central Committee will recognize Congressman Latham for his years of service to residents of Franklin County and fellow Iowans during a program that will close out the evening.
Congressman Latham’s office has confirmed his attendance for the evening dinner and program. For ticket information, contact Ridge Stone Golf Club in Sheffield at (641) 892-8050, or visit www.RidgeStoneGolf.com.
