Same time, same place for GOP women

A Republican women's group will also hold a victory breakfast.

The Committee to Elect Republican Women will hold its annual celebration of female GOP politicians at the same time and place as Lillian's List, a pro-choice Democratic women's group.

The two events will be held separately at the Cardinal Club in Raleigh on Jan. 28.

While Democratic Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue will address the Lillian's List gathering, the Committee to Elect Republican Women does not plan to have speakers.

"We just invite folks to come, have breakfast with us and meet our new legislators," said Rep. Julia Howard, the group's current head.

She said it was a coincidence that the two groups are meeting at the same time, perhaps because it's the same day that legislators will be sworn in and start the session.

"For some reason, that happened last year, too," she said.
