March 22nd Meeting

Judy Addis and Fredi Simpson. If you missed this meeting you missed a fun and informative evening. Fredi's sense of humor made her story of growing up apolitical and developing into the person she is today was very positive and uplifting. Hearing her common sense approach to life and politics was an inspiration. Hope we can have her back again .

We work closely with the other Tri Cities Republican organizations to support events such as the Lincoln Day Dinner, the County Fair booth, the Pancake breakfast, and the Republican Picnic.

Some of the guest speakers this past year have been, Patrick McBurney who spoke about 2010 mid term elections, Brenda Chilton spoke about election fraud, Mike Fox spoke about Cap and Trade, Matt Manweller spoke about being a conservative in academia.
