| Hi, everyone! I hope you're cool
wherever you are. Ray and I are a bit heated: our air
conditioner decided to burn its condensor Friday afternoon.
So, it's warm where we are! Hope you're much better.
In any event, I'm happy to be writing you. We
have our next meeting of the Santa Cruz Valley Republican
Women on MONDAY, JULY 2, 2007, AT NOON AT THE ESPLENDOR
RESORT IN RIO RICO . That's where we have
been meeting regularly lately. I do hope you can make it.
Cost remains $20 per person.
We need you to respond to us either by email or by
telephone (mine is 270-4427 and Joan's is 398-2192). We
have to guarantee the number of our lunches, so we need to
make sure you get one if you come. And, we really hate to
spend money on lunches we don't eat! We appreciate your
cooperation in this. We'd like to know by Thursday, June
28, but later is okay. Thanks.
Our speaker will be State Representative JENNIFER
BURNS, who represents parts of Santa Cruz County, including
Nogales, Rio Rico and the Tumacacori area. She is a dynamic
young woman (a lawyer) who has given her energy to public
service. She will talk about this last legislative session,
what's going on politically across our state, and any other
topic you'd like to chat about. You don't want to
miss this!
Don't forget the raffle for the beautiful turquoise
necklace. Virginia Bristol has the tickets, but we can get
more if we need to. Just let me know.
The SUMMER QUARTERLY in July 20-21 in Tempe. Go the
the AFRW website or call me for info. We need to have
members go. This is a fun time--and informative as well.
(I'll be in Texas for a family reunion.) Then the NATIONAL
FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN CONVENTION (biennial) will be
in Palm Springs, CA, September 26-30. We should take
advantage of this as their often much further away. Who can
go? You can go to the national website for info or call
me! You also have info in your last magazine from NFRW.
Then, October 25-27, we have the ARIZONA BIENNIAL CONVENTION
in Tempe. Lots of meetings--but remember what 2008 is? And
who's likely to be the Demo candidate. Does that inspire
you?
We plan to have an update on the Santa Cruz County
Republican Party at our meeting. Summer's sort of slow, but
we need to be ready for September. We've lots to do, no?
And, one of the main reasons we began our group is to be an
effective force for the GOP in elections. So, buckle your
seat belt, we're about to take off!
Don't forget to invite several someones to come to our
meeting. Let's have a good group and enjoy our fellowship!
Thanks for being a part of a group that wants to make a
difference at local, state, and national levels.
