Fundraisers in Sunny Climes
For lobbyists with the winter blahs, two senators who hale from states with beaches and sunny weather may have a solution for you. Over the Martin Luther King holiday - Inauguration Day extended weekend, Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., is hosting a getaway and fundraiser for his political action committee, Freedom and Democracy Fund, at Disney's Grand Floridian Spa and Resort in Orlando. To attend the Jan. 18-21 bash, PACs have to pony up $3,000 and individuals $2,000. Next month over President's Day weekend, Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, is throwing his "First Annual Weekend of Aloha" at Honolulu's Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa. To enjoy the Feb. 14-16 activities, attendees have to raise or donate a total of $5,000 for the senator's "Dan10" reelection committee.
