Women of Tribute

What a great day Saturday. We honored 28 of our MoFRW members. If we added all their volunteer hours together I have no idea what it would add up to but it would a big, big number. These ladies have supported not only Republican politics but every organization and community event you can think of. We are blessed to have such great members.

Jesse Morton, NFRW 4th vice-president, came from Louisiana to be with us and was a big surprise for LaRue. They had served as state presidents at the same time. I was glad to be there for the surprise Friday evening. Jesse is a wonderful lady and it was an honor to have her in Missouri.

Thanks to everyone who made the luncheon a great event and especially those we honored for serving our organization.

This was my last big state event as MoFRW president. There is still alot going on this fall with district meetings and the NFRW convention, but this is our last state function. It was been great meeting and working with everyone.

Missouri State Fair

Today was MoFRW's day to man the GOP booth at the state fair. It was also the Governor's Ham Breakfast so many officials were on the fairgrounds. It was nice to visit with those attending the fair and the officials. I attended the Press Conference held by the Governor and Congressmen and Congresswoman c0ncerning the year's weather related problems in Missouri. I was also able to attend Senator Blunt's Town Hall meeting.

Benton County Republican Women

It was great visiting with the Benton County ladies last night in Warsaw. One of the members of their teen group sang for us and what a great voice she had. It was a joy to hear her. It was also a joy to three young ladies at their meeting. We stressed the importance of laying the ground work now for 2012. It will be here all too quickly.

Everyone take care in this extreme heat.
