Forsyth County Republican Women...The Life of the Party!
I recently attended The North Carolina Federation of Republican Women
(NCFRW) Spring Board of Directors Meeting and Tribute to Women
Banquet at the Hilton Wilmington on May 16-18. There were 7 members
of Forsyth County Republican Women who attended.
On Friday, Voter Vault training was offered in the afternoon, everyone
enjoyed dinner at various Wilmington restaurants in the evening, and then
attended a poolside dessert bar at the hotel. The guest and speaker at
the dessert party was Will Breazeale, candidate for US Congress, District
7. Will gave a very inspiring and motivating speech.
Saturday was packed full! The morning started off with the Club President’
s Meeting and Club Treasurer’s Meeting. Valerie White, NCFRW
President, shared with Club Presidents from across the state ideas and
helpful information needed for the remainder of the year. Beth Dawson,
NCFRW Treasurer, had a round table discussion with Club Treasurers.
At the board meeting on Saturday, we heard reports from the NCFRW
President, the Regional Vice Presidents, from the various committees, the
NCGOP Chairwoman, Linda Daves and the NC Young Republican’s
President, Kim Cotton.
Among the many Committee Reports, we heard from Joyce Krawiec,
Legislative Chairman, who announced the NCFRW Legislative Day at the
Capital on May 27th and stressed the priority of contacting NC legislators
regarding Jessica’s Law, the Marriage Amendment, and the Unborn
Victims of Violence Protection. Zan Bunn, Campaign Chairman, reviewed
the importance of having a literature piece with the list of Republican
candidates to hand out at the polls and reminded everyone of the rules
involving mixing state and federal candidates. Celeste Stanley reported
for Martha Jenkins, Caring for America Chairman, and recommend that
the NCFRW make a donation to the Special Operations Warrior
Foundation who offers college educations and academic and family
counseling to children and families of fallen special operations
personnel, and offers wounded warrior support. Pud Kent, announced
the topic of the 2008-2009 Americanism Essay Contest, “The Goals of our
Forefathers”. Andrea Kepple and I, NC Regents Coordinators, presented
42 Regents with their gifts of appreciation and recruited 8 new Regents.
Immediately following the meeting was a luncheon with special guest and
speaker Dr. Mike Adams, a conservative college professor at UNC
Wilmington. Mike is also a writer and has published his second book
Feminists Say the Darnedest Things.
The afternoon was set aside for workshops for the participants to attend.
The workshops offered were “How to Lobby your Legislators” by Brendan
Steinhauser, Freedom Works Director of Federal and State Campaigns,
“How to Create an Effective Newsletter” by NCFRW Communications
Chair, Susan Fleming, “Campaigns for Local Candidates” by NCFRW
Secretary, Donna Peeler, and “Membership Recruitment and Retention”
by NCFRW Membership Chair, Carol Kuester.
Saturday evening was a very special treat with the NCFRW Tribute to
Women Banquet. There was a special music presentation by the
Harmony Belles and the Keynote Address was given by Mason Weaver,
President of the National United Freedom Alliance. The highlight of the
evening was the awards ceremony. The weekend concluded with a
Prayer Breakfast on Sunday morning with NCGOP Chairwoman, Linda
Daves.
I would encourage each of you to attend future NCFRW Board Meetings.
The board meetings are open to all members of each club and are lots of
fun! It is a great opportunity to meet other Republican Women from
across the state and to see how the FCRW is associated with the
NCFRW. The next meeting of the NCFRW will the Fall Board of Director’s
Meeting November 14-15, 2008.
