PORTSMOUTH -- Presidential hopeful and former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani is scheduled to visit the Carnegie Abbey Club tomorrow during a swing through Rhode Island, according to a news release on Business Wire.

Giuliani's visit comes on a day when the Republican will also attend a fund-raiser in Providence, an 11:30 a.m. event at Waterplace Restaurant, for which guests will pay $500 to $1,500.

Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton will be on Providence's East Side at the home of former Mayor Joseph Paolino at an 11 a.m. fund-raiser tomorrow on the behalf of his wife, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, who is running for president on the Democratic side.

The release did not list a time of day for Giuliani's visit to Carnegie Abbey.

At Carnegie Abbey, Giuliani will be part of an "informal meet and greet with club members," according to Business Wire.

The visit is part of the club's World Leadership Guest Series, which has included inviting presidential contenders. Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards began the 2008 Presidential Candidates series event at the club on May 22.

And the club is no stranger to other politicians -- including former Presidents Clinton and George H.W. Bush in 2005.
