Effectively promoting
Republican values and candidates
in North Texas since 1960.
|
|
It is an
honor
and
privilege
to serve
as
President
of PCRW
and a
delight
to be
associated
with
such an
impressive
group of
intelligent,
thoughtful
and
talented
women.
Thank
you for
this
opportunity.
Recent
disappointing
election
results
compel
us to
rebuild
our
party by
connecting
with
fellow
Republicans,
elected
officials
and
future
candidates.
PCRW
members
can
assist
in the
process
in
several
ways:
- Keep abreast of the current issues facing our state, country and party by attending our monthly meetings and programs.
- Attend the "meet and greet" before meetings to connect with the speakers, elected officials and other members.
- Invite a friend to attend a meeting and join PCRW.
- Read the books in "President's Picks," a new newsletter feature.
- Visit the websites listed below and find out what's going on at the county, state and federal levels of the Republican Party.
- Help PCRW financially by renewing your PCRW membership.
- Consider joining at the "Friends" level.
Our plan
also
includes
improving
membership
communication
through
the
newsletter,
email
and
website.
Kristina
Kiik has
done a
fabulous
job over
the
holiday
improving
our
newsletter
and
email
system.
Thank
you,
Kristina!
If you
are
reading
this on
paper,
please
consider
getting
connected
to the
internet. Please
contact
me if
you
would
like a
member
to help
you.
Join
Kristina
Kiik by
volunteering
to help
members
set up
an email
account
by
emailing
me.
None of
this
would be
possible
without
the hard
work of
the
presidents
and
members
who came
before
us.
Thank
you!
Thanks
also to
Claudia
Armstrong
for
asking
(telling)
me to
join
PCRW and
Lisa
Luby
Ryan for
asking
me to
co-chair
the
First
Annual
PCRW
Family
Picnic.
Thank
you
Debbie
Georgatos
for
asking
me to be
Program
Chair
the last
two
years
(loved
that
job) and
for
mentoring
me in
this new
position.
Debbie
was a
visionary
president
who
added
value to
PCRW
with the
new
"Friends"
program
which
allows
us to do
so much
more for
Republican
candidates.
See you
on
Wednesday,
January
28,
11:30
am at
the
Meadows
Museum!
Please
bring a
friend!
