FLAGSTAFF REPUBLICAN WOMEN - Janie Cook, President
The Flagstaff Club is a dynamic
energetic club with a lot of activites:
MANA: Marines, Army, Navy, Air
Force. We participate in Armed Forces Day with a parade and a
reception at the airport. Some families act as weekend hosts to
visiting dignitaries. A couple of times a year we collect
toiletries, snacks, simple games, etc to send to the troops
overseas.
American Eagle Scholarship
Foundation is open to high school juniors and seniors who write an
essay. Two or three winners are sent to Reagan Ranch. This year we
had funds to send two female students.
Lincoln Day Dinner was in
cooperation with CCRP. The dinner event was scheduled in February
and John McCain was the speaker this year. We were hoping to sell
90 tickets but we sold over 100 and almost had to turn people away.
We tried a blanket fundraiser
which was headed up by Roni Hyndman, 3rd VP who purchased
fleece and scheduled a “work party” to assemble the blankets. Some
were sold and some were raffled. Although we did make some money, it
was too much work for Roni.
Gerri Wainwright was chosen as
Flagstaff Symphony Guild “Woman of the Year 1009-1010. We are proud
to have her in our club.
RWP - REPUBLICAN WOMEN of PRESCOTT
- Kay Harlan, President
The Republican Women of Prescott
are having a very busy spring.
In April, we changed our
meetings to a larger venue in order to accommodate our growth. We
are at a record of 259 members and are no meeting at the Prescott
Resort where we have ample room. The contagious enthusiasm gives us
the “Boots on the Ground” here in Yavapai County to get Republicans
elected.
The May 1st fashion
show and luncheon “The Gardens of England” was an elegant event that
has become a fabulous fundraiser for the club.
The LDI candidates will be
speaking at our May meeting and we will be hosting a “Candidates
Breakfast” in July. We will also have Clint Bullock speaking on the
Healthcare Freedom Act at our July meeting.
We are excited to host the AzFRW
summer meeting in Prescott in June and we will also participate in
parades in Prescott and Chino Valley in July and August.
As you can see, we are a very
active club. If you would like to know more about our club, our web

Verde Valley Club has also been
growing and changing. We have a new president, Carol Gandolfo as

In March the club celebrated St.
Patrick’s Day with the “wearing of the green” and a well informed
Dean Martin was the featured speaker. Mr. Martin the State
Treasurer is using his experience in the State Senate and as
Treasurer to run for Governor.
J.D. Hayworth is scheduled to be
the June speaker.
