If you’re still in town, there’s a relatively cheap opportunity to schmooze chiefs of staff for several powerful GOP senators tomorrow at a “Dog Days of Summer Cookout” benefiting the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s offices.

The cost is just $100 per individual–a bargain compared to most fundraisers we document here at Party Time–and the attire is casual.

The chief-of-staff lineup includes Jackie Cottrell, who works for Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS); Rick Dearborn, for Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL); Beth Jafari, for Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX); Billy Piper, for Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-TX); T.A. Hawks,  for Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS); Kyle Ruckert, for Sen. David Vitter (R-LA); Michael Schwartz, for Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK); Ryan Thompson, for Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK); David Young, for Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA); and Matt Zabel, for Sen. John Thune (R-SD).

The Huffington Post’s Arthur Delaney was on hand this morning outside a breakfast fundraiser for Senators Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) at Charlie Palmer Steak house:

Standing by the door at the start of the event, Grassley declined to say who might be attending. “You’ll have to ask Senator Roberts,” he said before walking inside.

Guests politely declined to identify themselves as they arrived. But one, a lobbyist representing the American Association of Crop Insurers, forgot to remove his name tag when he left (Sen. Roberts sits on the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry).

Asked what was discussed during the breakfast, the man said it was health care. He said Sen. Grassley did not discuss his upcoming meeting with other Finance Committee members — the so-called “Gang of Six” — and President Obama later in the day.

When Congress is in session, lawmakers do most of their fundraising partying at a handful of Washington hot spots clustered close to the Capitol building. With members of the House already on recess and the Senate soon to follow, however, lawmakers are taking their parties to far-flung locales, from Aleyeska Resort in Alaska to California’s Napa valley to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

• On August 14, Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK) hosts an event benefiting his leadership PAC, Great Land PAC, at Alaska’s Aleyeska Resort. Activities include hiking, bike riding, fishing–and, but of course, gold mining. If your PAC pays $5,000 for a space, that amount will apply to all Great Land PAC events for the rest of the year.
• Sen. Pat Roberts is venturing far from the plains of Kansas to the valleys of Napa. On August 8, he welcomes donors to a wine tour; cost is $5,000 for a PAC to host, or $3,000 per PAC or individual to attend. The next night he hosts a dinner benefitting the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) at the farm at Carneros Inn.
• On August 10, Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) is hosting his second annual “Teton Tee-Off” at the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club. Cost is $2,000 for a PAC or $1,000 for an individual–but does not include green fees. And Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) is joining Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) on August 13 for “a day in the Tetons (fishing & dinner)” for Making Business Excel PAC, Enzi’s leadership PAC.
