“Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.” 

~ Abraham Lincoln

 The Oneida County Republican Committee would like to invite you to the annual Lincoln Day Dinner for Oneida County!  This will be held Saturday, May18 at 6:00 pm at the Oneida County Event Center.

Abraham Lincoln was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman, who served as the 16th president of the United States, from 1861 until his assassination on April 15, 1865.  He was the first Republican-elected president, being only the second presidential candidate for the party.  A man of faith and courage, known as the Great Emancipator, and a symbol of freedom.  His legacy continues to remind us of our fathers who brought forth this nation, “conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”.

The Lincoln Day Dinner (also known as Lincoln Day) started as a way to honor President Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, and his life and legacy.  The first recorded event took place in 1909 in Springfield, Illinois and is now held at various locations throughout the United States.  The dinner is also an opportunity for Republicans to gather, meet candidates, and raise money for the local party.

This year we will have the opportunity to hear from all three candidates for Oneida County Sheriff, and several other state candidates.  Jim Noorlander will be the keynote speaker, and IDGOP Chair Dorothy Moon has been invited to share a short message.

The dinner and fundraiser will host a silent auction and live auction.  All items have been donated by committee members, candidates, local businesses, and individuals from the community.  Thank you to everyone who has generously given the donations.  We would also like to thank everyone from the community who has given their time to help plan and carry out
this event.

We would also like to invite everyone to get out and vote on Tuesday, May 21.
