Romney to appear at Toledo Club luncheon

BLADE STAFF

Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign will stop in Toledo next week when the presumptive Republican nominee appears at a five-figure fund-raising luncheon at the Toledo Club, The Blade learned today.

Supporters may donate $10,000 per couple to appear with the former Massachusetts governor during a VIP photo reception Wednesday at 11:30 a.m., or pay $50,000 individually ($100,000 per couple) to attend both the photo event and a luncheon that starts at noon.

Chris Maloney, Ohio spokesman for Mr. Romney’s campaign, confirmed the appearance, but declined to say what the event’s fund-raising goal is. The event is Mr. Romney’s first Toledo fund-raiser since a local appearance he made during his primary campaign in February.
