Dear Kristina,
I am happy to report that we are making progress in our outreach to young professionals and SMU students. Ericka Salinas is our new chairman for the young professional member initiative. We enjoyed the company of several young women students and professionals at our February meeting and hope to welcome them again at our March 24th meeting.
Thank all of you for renewing your memberships in a timely manner. A special thanks to all of you who have joined at the Friends of PCRW level. The 2009 yearbooks will be distributed at the March meeting to all paid members.
Please attend our meeting on Tuesday, March 24th at the Meadows Museum (keep your fingers crossed) to hear Dallas County GOP Chairman Jonathan Neerman discuss plans to improve Republican election results in Dallas County.
As always, "Invite a Friend!"
Cindy Clendenen President, PCRW
