Bill Clinton is coming to Raleigh today.
The former president will be the honored guest at a 3:45 p.m. fund-raising reception at the Brier Creek Country Club to raise money for his wife's presidential campaign.
The cost of the event is $1,000, or $2,300 for a 3:30 p.m. VIP reception that includes a photograph with him.
No public events are planned, and the press will not be allowed to cover the event.
Raleigh resident Jeanette Hyde, the ambassador to Barbados during the Clinton administration, said she expects more than 200 people at the event.
"It's going really, really well," she said. "There's a lot of excitement, even right here at Christmas."

Re: Two hundred expected at Clinton event
Pity for Hillary that a high % of her support is actually for him. When it's HER name on the ballot, many of those people will scurry for a viable choice. Every time he takes the spotlight other campaigns are whispering, thanks for reminding everyone that Hillary is no Bill Clinton.
