A letter from the Chair of RCLMN

Welcome to the virtual home of the Republican Committee of Lower Merion and Narberth! We’re glad you’re here.

Just like you, we are committed to strengthening our community, and making it an even better place to live, work and raise a family.

I’m Phil Rosenzweig, chair of RCLMN. Together, with my executive committee, committee people, elected officials and you, we will work to revitalize our local Republican party.

RCLMN consists of a strong group of women and men of all ages committed to fiscally responsible and effective government. From raising awareness on important issues to providing opportunities to get involved, we are the place where our community rallies to make things better.

We remember words from President Ronald Reagan when he said, “The Republican Party…is a broad party. There is room in our tent for many views; indeed, the divergence of views is one of our strengths.”

We want to bring our community together to get things done, and I hope you will join us in this effort.

I look forward to meeting you all, but in the meantime, please sign up here to get our emails, and like us on Facebook to stay up-to-date with our activities.

Warmly,

Phil Rosenzweig, Chair
