Memorial Day

As we prepare for the holiday weekend, let us all remember those who have paved the way for us. We have many fallen heroes to thank for the freedoms we enjoy today. It is a time to remember and reflect on the past spent with our family and friends who have gone to glory. May each of you have a great weekend of remembrance and thanks.

SW Missouri

My thoughts and prayers are with the families in Joplin who have lost loved ones, homes and businesses in Joplin.

Bonhomme Club Visit

It was nice today attending the Bonhomme Club. I presented them with their plaque recognizing them for 100% increase in membership and four of their members received the Recruit 10 certificate and pen. I brought back greetings to a lady in Bolivar from a sorority sister. It seems everyplace I go there is someone who knows someone in Bolivar.

7th District Meeting

Thanks to the Greene County Republican Women for hosting a great meeting on Sat. Our speakers were very informative - Greene County Presiding Commissioner Jim Viebrock and Darren Chapel who spoke on the Bill of Rights. This was the last 2011 spring district meeting. It is hard to believe state convention is less than one month away.

5th District Meeting

Saturday, April 30 was the 5th district meeting in Independence. They had a wonderful meeting. It was the first time in two years I had been able to attend their meeting. Great news that a new club is being formed in 5th district.

I know they had a great meeting in the 9th district also. I could only be in one place so I had to miss that meeting.
