Traveling Tim will voyage to Orlando next week.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty will appear at a $2,500-a-head fundraiser for the Republican Governors Association on Monday, March 15. Pawlenty is the vice chair of the RGA and has made other fundraising trips for the organization.

The invitation, obtained by the Orlando Sentinel:

Dear all:
With the issues we are facing today in our government, we can either get involved and make a change or sit back and watch this great country of ours dissolve. I, like most are very frustrated with the lack of work ethic, integrity and innovative thinking on how we will get this country back on track. This event is for the Republican Governors Association and will benefit all 37 races we face in 2010. We all are to blame for what has happened in the last 10 years as we have not been involved! This is AMERICA! The PEOPLE make the decisions not the POLITICIANS! So Let’s get involved!

Mr. Bernstein & The Republican Governors Association
cordially invites you to attend a special event featuring:

Governor Tim Pawlenty
Minnesota
&
Governor Luis Fortuno
Puerto Rico

Monday, March 15, 2010
5:00pm to 6:30pm Cocktail Reception

Citrus Restaurant
821 North Orange Avenue
Orlando, FL

$2500 Per Person, Company or PAC

Please RSVP to Lauren Lofstrom
Lauren@RGA.org or 202-662-4166

We hope to see you there!

 

Update: The March 15 trip will be at least Pawlenty's fourth trip to the Sunshine State since announcing he would not run for a third term last summer, according to  Tom Scheck of Minnesota Public Radio.
