Greetings SCRWC members and associates,

I hope you are all staying safe and warm.  With temperatures in the teens here or lower across the country, I can’t help but ask, “Is this  global warming?”

I also hope each of you has caught your breath after all the festivities of the holidays.  There is much to do now that election season is gearing up and we will be requesting your assistance.  Thanks to Cathy Watts and Kris Kessler we submitted our hours and calls for the NFRW Achievement Awards on time.  We submitted 34,528 hours and 23,615 calls.  As always, we will be featuring candidates at our meetings going forward.

I am pleased to tell you  that I have received the contract from the Grease Band for our April 27th dinner dance.  It’s going to be huge!  I’ve already gotten requests for tickets!  Thanks to the efforts of Carole Andrejko and Kathy Enedy, our website is ready for ticket purchasers.  I strongly suggest that if you are interested, you make those purchases sooner rather than later.  We will only be able to accommodate 300 attendees.  We have also cut off the ability to purchase tickets on the website on April 18th.  For ease of record-keeping we are hoping that people purchase tickets online.  However, we will accept checks/cash for tickets.  No tickets will be sold at the door. 

In case you’ve forgotten, it is time to pay your 2024 dues.  Please make sure you pay these before the deadline of February 29th!  Do it now so you don’t forget!  The number of members in good standing we have determines how many votes we may cast at the NFRW Spring Meeting.   

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”

Stay warm,

Greetings SCRWC members!

 

In case you were unaware, one of our members, Kim Hoey Stevenson is running for the State Senate in SD 6.  You may recall that we lost this seat in 2022 when Russ Huxtable (D) was successful in his bid.  To say that he has been a disaster is an understatement.  

 

We want Kim to be successful and each of us can play a role in making this happen.  If you live in SD 6 please consider holding a “Coffee” for Kim.  If you’re unfamiliar with this form of campaigning, let me explain.

 

Supporters of the candidate invite about 10-15 friends and neighbors over for a cup of coffee and dessert – usually around 6:30 PM.   The candidate (Kim) attends and speaks with the group outlining her platform.  Your friends will be able to ask questions and discuss issues with her.  Kim’s campaign will pay for the coffee and dessert.  Your only responsibility is to open your home and invite your fiends and neighbors.  Hopefully, some of your friends who are in attendance will agree to do a coffee for Kim and invite other friends.  

 

This is an excellent opportunity for you to help our club fulfill our mission of electing Republicans and advancing women in the political process.  We want to let everyone know that the SCRWC is active and a significant asset in getting candidates elected.

 

If you are willing to help Kim by holding a coffee for her, please let her campaign manager, Ernie Lopez know as soon as you can.  Ernie’s email address is: ernielopez@comcast.net.  These should probably start In about a month or so.  Let’s fill Kim’s schedule and keep her busy meeting her future constituents!

 

Please consider this quote by Michelle Rollins:

 

There has never been a more important moment and important role for our women to play in redirecting America! 

​

Lord knows our state needs redirecting and we must play a role in this!

 

God bless you all,

Marilyn
