Thanks

Happy New Year. What a year 2012 will be.

Thank you for allowing me to serve as your president the past two years. It was been an honor and pleasure. The friendships I made all over the state of Missouri and all over the United States are lifelong. I will cherish the memories I take with me and remember fondly the thousands of miles traveled representing the Missouri Federation of Republican Women. Republican Women are the best.

We have had many successes - increasing membership, chartering six new clubs, making significant contributions to electing Republican candidates, sending our Veterans to Washington DC, assisting Joplin residents, hosting the NFRW Convention, and the list goes on and on. These are all thanks to you - our wonderful members. MoFRW is your organization and your hard work to make it a success is obvious. I know each of you will be working hard to assure successful elections in 2012. Our country depends on it.

I look forward to seeing you at future MoFRW events.

God Bless you and God Bless the United States of America.

With Heartfelt Thanks,


Kathy Drake
MoFRW President 2010-2011

Merry Christmas

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope all of you get to celebrate Jesus Birth with family and friends.

Republican Women of Greater Kansas City

I had the honor of presenting the club charter to the Republican Women of Greater Kansas City on Wednesday. The club already has 40 members. I am sure they are going to be a very active club. I enjoyed meeting several of their members. Senator Will Kraus spoke to the group also and was very enlightening on the new districts as well as the 2012 year. We are glad to have them join our organization.

Taney and Benton County Clubs

It has been a busy week. I visited the Taney County Club on Thursday evening. It was a great time and their Christmas meeting was in a wonderful Tea House/Florist Shop. It was beautiful. Congratulations to Sheila Wyatt who was installed as their 2012-13 president.

Sunday I traveled to Cole Camp to a Tea hosted by the Benton County Republican Women's Club. They are working on starting a club in the Cole Camp area. They had done a lot of work and it was lovely. We had a lot of great discussion. Teens from the Benton County Teenage Republicans served us. The teens were great.
