________________________________________________
The four clubs in Region Four spent most of 2010 working for
Republican candidates and featuring them as
speakers at their monthly meetings.
Members of the clubs elected to office
in 2010 include
State Representatives
Doris Goodale of KRW and Nancy McLain of CRRW, City Council members
Margaret Nyberg of LBRW, Robin Gordon and Carol Young of KRW and
Justice of the Peace members Jill Davis of LHRW and Jean Bishop of
KRW.
At the Mohave Country GOP meeting in January of 2011 Hildy Angius of
CRRW was elected first vice chair, Anita Boyd of KRW was elected
secretary and Sandi Reynolds of KRW and LaJuana Gillette of LBRW
were elected region directors.
Helen Moran of LBRW is the parliamentarian for the county
party and Nichole of LBRW is the director of voter registration.
Our county is well served by these outstanding Republican
women. Sixty two of our
members serve as P.C.’s in Mohave County and are working hard to
update our voter lists.
Our region workshop was held in April of this year and we were
fortunate to have Dianna Soe Myint give a presentation on leadership
development. Our
own Hildy Angius gave us tips on how to use the media to promote our
clubs and how to use social networking.
Three of the club presidents served a two year term; Melissa
Havatone of Kingman RW, Hildy Angius of Colorado River RW and Shawna
Thornton of Lake Havasu RW.
Terrie Roberg was the president of London Bridge RW for 2010
and Eileen Nexsen has served as president in 2011. I have enjoyed
working with these leaders and appreciate their kindness in giving
me an opportunity to speak at their meetings.
We sadly report the loss of several members these past two years;
Dolores Seroy and Lorraine Hunt of KRW, Pat Creason and June DeLuca
of LHRW and Ritva Hamu of LBRW.
These women all contributed to the growth and success of all
three clubs.
Ten Republican women have already indicated plans to run for elected
office either at the state, county or local level and many are
gathering signatures for their candidacy.
I am sure we may have some additional candidates as we get
closer to the filing dates.
My special thanks to several members of the four clubs who made
donations to purchase the beautiful NFRW eagle and pearl pin as a
surprise gift to me at our 2010 county picnic.
I wear it with pride and deep appreciation to the women of
Region Four.
I am looking forward to working with these outstanding Republican
women in 2012 and 2013 as we continue to “Take Back America"

program. Two of their meetings featured speakers both for and

Havasu City.

elementary schools, the high school, and Mohave County Community
College. St. Sen. Ron Gould, who is also the Mohave County Central
Committee Chair will speak at the June meeting.
