Update: Clinton to appear at Whitehouse fund-raiser at URI

SOUTH KINGSTOWN -- Before he takes the stage as keynote speaker for the World-Scholar Athlete Games tonight, former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear at a fundraiser for U.S. Senate candidate Sheldon Whitehouse.

The $1,000 per person fundraiser will be held at the University of Rhode Island's University Club at 5:30 p.m.

Clinton has been to Rhode Island many times to raise money and stump for Democratic candidates. The former president's most recent visit was on April 8, when he appeared at a fundraising event for his wife, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in East Greenwich, at the home of Democratic activists Mark and Susan Weiner.

After the event, Clinton is scheduled to speak at 7:30 p.m. at the Ryan Center on the URI campus. Tickets may be purchased for $77 (lower level seating) or $62 (upper level seating). As of this posting, tickets were still available, and can be obtained at the ticket window until the time of the event. Call (401) 874-RAMS for more information.
