Report: President Obama to Attend Pair of Westchester Fundraisers on Friday

The Democratic fundraisers will be in Purchase and New Rochelle.

President Barack Obama is scheduled to attend a pair of fundraisers in Westchester on Friday, according to The Journal News.

The first one will be at the Purchase home of Robert and Carol Wolf, who are hosting a $32,400-per-person Democratic National Committee barbecue. Wall Streeter Robert Wolf has been a major financial backer of Obama, writes The Journal News’ Brian Tumulty.

New Rochelle will serve as the location for the second Westchester fundraiser on Friday, a smaller ”roundtable” type of event, where again, attendees will pay up to $32,400 to attend.
