ABC School

Today was the first MoFRW sponsored ABC school of 2010. Unfortunately I was snowed in and unable to attend. Fortunately our ABC School Chair Shirley Burris and daughter Tane went yesterday and did a great job today. Thirty-six people were able to make the event and some of those unable to get there due to snow will attend one of our other schools. Thanks to all the great speakers, the Benton County FRW, Shirley and Tane for a super event.

Executive Committee Meeting

It was nice planning and visiting with all of the MoFRW Executive Committee Saturday. We will have a lot to report at the Board meeting on February 6. This is the 80th birthday of the Missouri Federation of Republican Women so we hope to do some special things this year. Ladies of Missouri formed a group eight years prior to being a charter member of the National Federation.

MoFRW Lincoln Day Luncheon

I am finally able to tell who the speaker is for our MoFRW Lincoln Day luncheon. It is Congressman Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee. I am sure we will have a good luncheon turnout to hear her presentation. I am grateful to the MRP for their help with this. You can read more about her on the MoFRW website.

Welcome to my new blog.

This is a new tool for me so I hope you will be patient. I love looking at other blogs so thought this would be a good opportunity to try one. Thanks to my daughter for her help in setting this up. I'm sure I will be calling her often for assistance.

I hope to update this regularly so you will know what I am doing as your president.Of course we want you to regular check out the MoFRW website for updates.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments from so many of you as we start a new term in MoFRW. The executive committee is working hard to make MoFRW the best it can be. There have been many great executive committees preceed us so we have big shoes to fill.

Please keep in touch with me either by comments on this blog or by email, phone or snail mail.I want this to be a positive blog so if you have a concern to discuss please contact me by one of the other communication tools.

There is a lot to be done in the next few weeks - the state board meeting Feb. 6, state Lincoln Day Luncheon Feb. 27 and Legislative Day March 16. I hope you can attend all or some of these events.

Happy 2010!
