Report: President Obama to Attend New Rochelle Fundraiser on Friday

The fundraiser in New Rochelle is one of two Obama will attend in Westchester this week.

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.
