Pioneer Party
The president met privately with members of his 214-member "Pioneers" club, each of whom raised at least $100,000 for his 2000 presidential campaign. White House and Republican Party workers also attended the event at Stan and Kathy Hickey's Broken Spoke Ranch, where no money will be raised.
The Pioneers club includes Ken Lay, the disgraced former chairman of bankrupt energy giant Enron Corp. and a long-time Bush ally. A White House spokesperson could not say whether Lay was in attendance.
