Bryan Schivera - July 10, 2007
The last week has been filled with a lot of fun events. On Saturday, June 30th all of the KA interns attended the Magnolia Dinner at the Odd Fellows Lodge in DC. All of the brothers of the Lodge were KAs and we felt right at home throughout the night. The dinner was great, and we stayed afterwards to share a drink and to talk with all the Lodge members. On Sunday, Alex and I went to the DC zoo. We saw the famous Giant Panda and spent about three hours there.
This past week I have been interning at the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). The NRSC is an organization with the sole goal of electing and re-electing republican senators. My main task on the week was donor research. The emphasis is on those senators up for re-election in 2008.
July 4th was an amazing experience in DC. We spent some time around the Captiol and in Georgetown during the day, trying to duck the tornado warnings whenever possible. We headed towards the National Mall around 8:00pm to get an up close view of the fireworks. It was by far the largest show I have ever seen. We were so close that pieces of the fireworks were falling around us. I finished the rest of the week at the NRSC and did some side work for Senator Thune, now that the Heartland Values PAC Conference is getting closer.
On Saturday, Brad Patout, Chris Cook and a few other KA alumni took us all to the Nationals baseball game. The underdog Nationals actually beat the Brewers despite two Prince Fielder home runs. On Sunday, I went with a friend to the AT&T National Golf Tournament and watched some great competition. I actually had Tiger Woods walk right by me and brush my shoulder on his way from the putting green to the driving range.
The next two weeks are crunch time for the Conference. We've got a lot of work to do, but I'm ready to take it all on.
