A group of Republican activists have announced that they are postponing a meeting because of the recent ice story.

The meeting, titled "GOP Positive Look Forward," was scheduled to take place on Monday at Saint Anselm College but will now be held at a later date.

"It is appropriate under the circumstances that our focus be on our friends, families and neighbors, and taking care of their immediate needs first," Republican activist Jim Merrill wrote in an e-mail. "The response to this event has been tremendous, and we will be rescheduling the event to bring us all together to discuss next steps for the NHGOP."
