At least two lawmakers are hosting golfing events in their home states over the next week.
Rep. Ron Kind, a Democrat from Wisconsin, is hosting a weekend benefiting his leadrership PAC, Badger PAC, at the Whistling Straits Golf Club and the “reknowned Kohler Waters Spa.” The spa “is conveniently located so you can drop in for a nourishing treatment, or step into a robe and experience all-day immersion,” according to the spa’s website. Cost for an individual is $2,500; for a PAC, $5,000.
Rep. Mike Conaway, Republican of Texas, meanwhile, is playing golf next Monday at the Ram Rock Golf Course in Horseshoe Bay. (You can see close ups of all the holes on the course right here.) While the invitation we have here at Party Time is a “save the date” notice, Leslie Sorrell, who works at the fundraising firm Magnolia Group, confirmed via voice mail not only that the event is on, but that there was also a pre-golf dinner at a nearby restaurant.

We also post information we receive about parties where members of Congress are expected to participate—such as convention or inaugural parties.
Since we don't hear about all the parties, you can also tell us if you know where the party is and we don't.
