"The two most
beautiful sounds in the world: A child laughing and a
Democrat conceding..." I love this quote Bridget sent me!
With the election of Scott Brown to Ted Kennedy's seat in
the bluest of states, we have a chance to stop the
horrendous Government take-over of health care and hopefully
go on to win many seats for Republicans in 2010. Get
involved and help us!
Wow! Even with the rain we had 119 people come to our
meeting at Wilson Creek on Tuesday, January 19th, many of
whom we hadn't ever seen before or hadn't seen in a long
time. It was wonderful! Welcome to all of you and especially
our new members! Attendees said the food was delicious and
the speaker was fabulous. Bob Hamer was not only informative
and fascinating but really funny!
We have been discussing some ways to streamline and improve
our meetings. Shortening reports from Board and Chair
members, more ladies checking people in, numbering tables
and having all guests and then new members stand, to name a
few. As we grow we need to become more efficient. Please let
us know if you are interested in helping out in anyway.
On February 3rd we will be carpooling to Pomona Valley
Mining Company to the bimonthly meeting of CFRW Southern
Division. Join us for a delicious lunch and terrific
speakers, Carly Fiorina, running for Barbara Boxer's seat,
and the always entertaining Mason Weaver. Please let me know
right away if you can attend. Also in February MTRA will be
meeting at 6:00 on Friday, Feb 5th, at Temeku Hills with
speaker talk show host John Ziegler. MERA will be meeting on
February 19th at 6:00 at Menifee Lakes Country Club. James
O'Keefe will be their speaker, who with Hannah Giles exposed
Acorn.
Damon Dunn will be the speaker at our next meeting on
Tuesday, February 16th, at Wilson Creek Winery. Hopefully,
you already read his amazing bio on the front page. His
story is very much like Michael Ohr in the movie Blind Side.
Damon was actually mentored by Condolisa Rice at Standford
University. Check-in is at 10:30 and the cost for lunch is
$17. Please do make your reservation with Marjorie (951-676-8552
or bdrayton@roadrunner.com) by Friday, February 12th.
Also, if you have not renewed your membership or want to
become a member, be sure to send your check to Jane Lauhon
ASAP. You can use the application form in this newsletter or
you can also find applications on our
website.
Remember, just going to meetings or joining clubs doesn't
really change things. We all need to be out there
registering and informing citizens, getting petitions
signed, calling and writing your legislators, going to Tea
Parties (Feb 27th) and, of course, getting out the vote!
Call Bridget, Ramona, Brigitte or Ralph and get involved!
Many thanks and blessings,
Adele Harrison
