The public is welcome and encouraged to attend Wichita Pachyderm Club meetings. Meetings are held almost every Friday at noon in the Wichita Petroleum Club on the top floor of the Bank of America Building at 100 N. Broadway. The meeting costs $12, which includes a delicious buffet lunch and beverage.
It is our belief that most of the corrupting influences in American Politics could be erased and government made more responsive by one basic improvement. That is, simply for more good citizens to participate in politics. "We get the government we deserve, not the one we wish for," remains a guide-star for a free people. We offer a meaningful movement of political clubs as the most practical means by which a broad citizen participation in politics may be achieved.
Pachyderm Mission Statement: Promote active citizen involvement and education in government and politics through the formation and support of grassroots, Republican clubs across America.
What is a Pachyderm Club?
We are a Republican group patterned after civic clubs with programs centered around government and politics
Pachyderm club memberships are open to all Republicans
Pachyderm club meetings are open to the public and encourage non-member attendance
Pachyderm clubs, as an organization, do not endorse issues or candidates in a contested primary election
The National Federation of the Grand Order of Pachyderm Clubs is an official allied group of the Republican National Committee and as such, member clubs operate as enhancements to the Republican party rather than as a competitor
The Pachyderm Club movement is one of the most practical means by which broad citizen participation in politics may be achieved
Pachyderm clubs are controlled locally, yet operate within an established standard framework
Pachyderm clubs meet regularly either weekly, bi-monthly or monthly and provide continuity for Republican volunteers and activists
