February 2024
February 26, 2024
Good day, ladies and gentlemen,
Can you hear it? That low trickling sound is month of February drifting away. On some level this is good because it means we will soon be welcoming the beautiful season of Spring. Spring in Sussex County is one of my favorite times of the year. On another level, this means that if you have not paid your dues for 2024 by this Thursday, 2/29/24, you will be dropped from our list of members and associates in good standing and that’s not one of my favorite things to do. This deadline is not our doing. It is from the NFRW and as a member of this federated group, we must comply.
This is a very important Election Year (it seems they all are recently) and as has been our tradition, we will be arranging for all of the local and statewide Republican candidates to speak at our meetings. You don’t want to miss these meetings. In addition to the incumbents, we have three of our women members running in November – Kim Hoey Stevenson, Valerie Jones Giltner, and Nikki Miller. After losing SD 6 to Russ Huxtable, and RD 20 to Stell Parker Selby, the Democrats smell blood in the water and we must be prepared to take back these two seats and hold onto every other seat in Sussex. It is up to us to do this and fulfill our mission of electing Republicans to office. I can’t state the importance of this any more emphatically.
If you have not paid your dues by now, please, please do so immediately. You can pay online at Dues Renewal | SCRWC. This is the fastest and easiest way to get this done. Or, you can mail a check made out to SCRWC to: 38039 Pine Needle Lane, Frankford, DE 19945.
Thanks in advance,
Marilyn

Greetings SCRWC members and associates,
I hope you’re staying dry and warm. Take heart, spring will be here very soon and along with the better weather, the Grease Band will arrive to have you dancing the night away with great rock and roll! I’m attaching the event flyer, so you’ll have something to show your friends and family as you encourage them to attend this very fun event with you.
I also received an email from my friend, Phil Drew, that I think you will want to investigate. I’m sure you’ve seen the commercials on TV from multiple companies trying to sell you monitoring services to alert you to anyone trying to steal your home by recording a deed for your home, essentially transferring your home to these thieves.
With the very high transfer tax in Delaware, it is unlikely that this would happen here, but one never knows just how devious and desperate the perpetrators may be.
The Sussex County Recorder of Deeds has established a FREE service to notify homeowners if/when documents are recorded and the homeowner’s name is mentioned. Signing up for this service is quick and easy – I’m told it takes less than a minute. You will receive two emails to complete to confirm the process is in place. Here’s the link to sign up: https://sussexcountyde.gov/deed-fraud-alert.
If you have not RSVP’d to our meeting on 2/28, please do so ASAP. Greg Fuller, Register of Wills, will offer some helpful information on wills and estates.
Finally, to remain a member in good standing, please make arrangements to pay your dues very soon.
Marilyn

Greetings SCRWC Members and Associates,
On January 27th, the DFRW sponsored Leadership Training for members and officers of the 4 Delaware Republican Women’s Clubs. The reviews are in, and every participant had great things to say about the training. Many suggested that they would like to see other sessions scheduled.
I was asked to present on leadership, but the husband and I had a previously scheduled vacation, and I hear she did a great job. (Exactly what I expected!) I am truly grateful to Carole for covering for me.
There is talk about more sessions like this. I will keep you informed. I encourage each of you to attend if you are able. The more information we have, the better we can assist in meeting our goals!
