President’s Message April 2018

We had asked that you save the date of May 19th, for the CFRW District VI meeting; however, we find there are several things that conflict with that date that could possibly keep our attendance down. We have rescheduled the meeting for June 2nd, with it still being a lunch meeting at the Valley Country Club, further information will be forthcoming. We all survived the Caucus and the County Assembly meeting in March we now have one more hurdle prior to the June primary and that is our April 14th State Assembly at the Coors Event Center in Boulder. Congratulations to those of you who were elected Delegates and Alternates to the State Assembly. If you have never participated at either of these levels, I recommend you attend the State…

We started the year with our Gubernatorial Forum. We had approximately 80-85 people there, many of whom would have never heard all the candidates except for that forum. As women and Republicans, we have so much to offer and it is our responsibility to go into our communities and educate and fight for our principles. We need to let people know what we stand for, speak with our own message and broadcast our Republican values. The more there are of us the easier that job will be. Every time we turn on the TV or pick up printed material, we hear and read about infrastructure. We need to think about our own DCRW infrastructure: do we increase our membership, so there are more of us to work for our candidates…

2018 is here and while I say, ‘Thank You’ for the confidence you have shown in me by electing me to serve as your President for the next two years, I also have confidence that all of you will be working alongside me and the newly elected officers to accomplish all we have in front of us. At the February meeting, our donations will go to Project Sanctuary. Each month, watch our new abbreviated newsletter for the recipient of these funds.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s! It’s hard to believe how fast 2017 flew by and now we’re coming into the mid-term elections and the political activity will begin to come at us fast and furious. Check out the Calendar for the important dates – Caucus, etc. We certainly didn’t start the New Year off well with the tragic death of one of our finest men in Blue when 29-year old Douglas Co. Sheriff’s Deputy Zackari Parrish was killed in the line of duty by an ambush when he and other deputies answered a domestic 911 call. What a heartbreaking and needless death! I know we all are devastated by this evil act and our thoughts and prayers go out to Zack’s wife…

President’s Message October 2017

President's Messages

This last month has been one of devastation to our Country! With the hurricanes in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico, it seemed like we could take no more! And then came the Las Vegas massacre! What a heartbreaking tragedy! As I’m writing this, we still do not know the reason why this man did such a horrendous act of evil. We have seen the worst and best of humanity. But the acts of heroism shown to the victims of the hurricanes and the victims of the slaughter in Vegas go to shine a light on how wonderful this Country is and how we care for our fellow citizens. We are blessed to have such a great and dedicated police force, first responders, fireman, doctors, nurses, and veterans, etc., plus just…

I hope all of you had a safe and Happy Labor Day weekend . . . this can’t be the end of summer, can it be?! So soon? As this is being written, we are all disheartened and concerned about another Hurricane headed for Florida . . . Irma looks to be catastrophic so our prayers are with all the people in Irma’s path. Both Texas and Florida++ victims will be needing our help so please be as generous as you can in supporting relief efforts! Unbelievably, Hurricane Jose is yet another one churning towards Florida. We are so fortunate to live in Colorado. On to more local news, we’re into another election that we all have to pay attention to . . . the Douglas County School Board will…

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers! Don’t forget to see or call your mother on her special day . . . Sunday, May 14th! Also of great importance is Memorial Day on May 29th. This is not just a time to have a day off work and a long weekend, celebrate the start of the summer season, or have a picnic or BBQ. It is a formal American holiday which is set aside for us to remember our military service members who have died in the line of duty. I might also add that we should remember ALL of our military service members who are no longer with us. All gave some . . . and some gave all! May they all rest in peace!…

Can the things going on in Washington, D.C., get any more divisive? We are certainly experiencing a divide in our Country like never before. I sincerely hope the Republicans can UNITE so we can move forward! Hopefully the R’s can work out a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare that will please both sides and, more importantly, be the very best plan for our citizens. This is what they promised and this is what they should deliver. This week we are also looking to the confirmation of Colorado’s own Neil Gorsuch as the next Supreme Court Justice. Are we going to a “nuclear” option where they reduce a super majority vote from 60 to a simple majority vote of 51? Time will tell but it certainly looks like that is…

It has been 40+ days now since the Inauguration of President Donald Trump (Hooray!) and he has already accomplished a monumental amount of actions that he promised us that he would do during his campaign! Now if only the Dems would get with the act and confirm the rest of his Cabinet and lower nominees, he will really get the Trump Train rolling! Did you like the President’s speech to the Joint Session of Congress as much as I did?! I thought he hit it out of the park and even some of the liberal media had to admit that it was a true Presidential speech. Of course, the media has now been negatively focusing on AG Jeff Sessions and his “talk with the Russian Ambassador” as if it was…
