The dinner will serve as a coming out party for the new club to introduce themselves to the Brooklyn conservative community, McCabe, the club’s president, said. “We want to show people that conservatives are young and fresh and modern. The Conservative Party is not the party of old white guys, as the media would have you believe,” he said.

Among those expected to attend are mayoral hopefuls Joe Lhota and George McDonald.
Christine Sisto, the club’s secretary, is the chairman of the dinner.
