Star-Studded Conservative Gala to Honor Kemp

Erie County Conservative Party Chairman Ralph Lorigo is planning to top last year's very successful tribute to Jack Kemp when the Conservative Forum presents this year's Jack Kemp Tribute Dinner on Saturday, March 14, at Salvatore's Italian Gardens.

This year's dinner honoring the late congressman and former Buffalo Bills quarterback will feature a roster of big names including Jack Kemp's son Jeff, a former NFL quarterback himself and the founder of Stronger Families, a non-profit that offers help and advice to strengthen marriages and families

The major Conservative Party fund-raising event will also feature the following headliners: Chris Jacobs, former Kemp intern and current Erie County clerk; Dr. Charles Krauthammer, nationally syndicated columnist and Fox New contributor; Mike Long, state Conservative Party chairman; and the colorful Roger Stone, former advisor to Ronald Reagan and a critically acclaimed author.

The event will also honor two former chairman of the Erie County Conservative Party: George Vossler and the late Billy Delmont.

Chairman Lorigo said NewsMaxTV will be streaming the event live on the internet as well as taping it for re-broadcast.

Tickets are $150 per person and $250 per couple with corporate checks accepted. Seating is limited. Cocktails are set for 5:30 with dinner at 6.

People interested in more information on the star-studded tribute to the legendary Bills' quarterback and long-time public servant and former 1996 GOP vice presidential candidate can call former Kemp congressional aide Russ Gugino at 716-440-9259 or contact him by email at russgugino2002@yahoo.com.

Last year's event was a rousing success and this year's encore presentation promises to be even bigger given the roster of headliners who will be on hand to honor the career of one Western New York's most memorable figures.

Famed political trickster and bestselling author, Roger Stone will be one of the speakers at Kemp Tribute.
