According to Batty, the club's recent successes give it a good chance of winning the Reagan Cup--named for the nation's 40th president--which recognizes the most dynamic club in Massachusetts over the course of the past year.
The cup is awarded at the MACR annual convention, to be held at the Weston Hotel in Waltham on April 15.
"We already have 20 to 30 people signed up to go," Brinton said.
In the meantime, Brinton said that the club will officially become active in George W. Bush's presidential campaign now that the Texas governor has clinched the GOP nomination outright.
Previously, the HCRC had remained neutral between Bush and former Republican contender Sen. John S. McCain, who announced last week that he was putting his presidential bid on hold.
Batty said that the club will try to take advantage of its increased size to help Republicans running for local offices, as well.
Towards that aim, the HCRC is working to establish a centralized campus committee, composed of representatives from each of the upperclass Houses and first year dorms.
