Presidents Message
Belonging:
March 29, 2014 was possibly the most gratifying and humbling experience of my life. To be nominated by our Humboldt County GOP as Volunteer of the Year at the same time Peter Hannaford was being honored as Republican of the Year was an experience I will always treasure. Thank you for your respect and trust, which I will always seek to honor. I also want to thank my HRWF sisters (and brothers) who were able to attend this event. You are awesome and beautiful! Thank you for attending and supporting the Ticket. I felt your love and acceptance as one of your own. It was a fun-filled and sentimental event for us, and especially heart-warming when Peters son, entered the room to greet his father. Peter had no idea that he was coming. Precious letters were read from very special people in Peters past, including one from Ed Meese and another from Nancy Reagan. My, Peter is a walking history book! Ive often wondered what it was like for him during the Reagan Presidential administration to be part of the Berlin Wall speech when President Reagan stated, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall! Peter Hannaford is more of a gift in wisdom and history than we will even know. Isnt it wonderful that he and Irene are part of our family? Soon we will have our Membership Tea. Please save the date! April 24th. We will be meeting this month on the fourth Thursday of the month due to your Presidents cannot be changed Mexico vacation plans. This is such a great event and an opportune time to invite all your friends to join you. Belonging is always important; and when its a group like ours, theres always room for one more. Or two. Or.. This year Esther Holmes has volunteered her beautiful home in the Trinidad area. You will find directions to her home in the newsletter. Do yourself a favor and dont think twice about attending. You wont be sorry! Come and enjoy a great fashion show by the Irish Shop and delicious hors doeuvres in a beautiful setting. Looking forward, as usual, to visiting with you. Blessings,

REPUBLICAN OF THE YEAR DINNER

The Republican Of the Year Dinner was a huge success. Our scheduled speaker, Jim Brultes plane was delayed, so we made do, with Peter Hannaford answering questions following his own speech. His journey, from his early start in politics, to the halls of the White House is inspirational and heartwarming. Bob Burchit then read letters that had come in from Peters many friends - including Ed Meese and Nancy Reagan. Many people in the audience reached for tissues. Our own Annette De Modena was honored as Volunteer Of The Year, introduced by Humboldt Republican Central Committee Vice-President Gwen Morris. (shown right) Young Republicans were well represented, led by John Hudson, who came to us as an intern from HSU.

TO ALL WHO HELPED MAKE THE EVENING A SUCCESS, from the Young Republicans greeting people at the door, to the GOP EVENTS COMMITTEE, & the wonderful staff at the Ingomar.

Thanks!

HELP WANTED!
Urgent: We need volunteers to help staff the GOP Headquarters.
We strive to keep the GOP HQ, at 311 5th St. in Eureka, OPEN from 10:00-1:00 Tuesday through Friday. If you have a couple hours free, you can help. Sign up with a friend and make an afternoon of it.

Humboldt's Republican Women's Club is the happening place for Republicans (men and women) in Humboldt County. Our monthly meetings feature a variety of interesting speakers and topics. We stay informed on local, state and national issues, and we work to make a difference, whether it is calling our Senators and Congresscritters or actively working to Get-Out-The-Vote. Suffice it to say, there's a lot going on. We invite you to join us. When you join Humboldt Republican Women, Federated, you're joining forces with women throughout the state and across the nation, women who share your ideals and your goals for our country. As a member of Humboldt Republican Women Federated youre also a part of the California Federation of Republican Women (CFRW) and the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), the largest womens political volunteer organization in the nation.

Call GOP HQ at 442-2259 There are many ways to volunteer!

Weve got lots of opportunities in the coming months. Show our colors in the Rhody Parade, work the booth at the McKinleyville Pony Express Parade, the Fourth Of July Fairs and the Humboldt County Fair in August... Between the Central Committee and HWRF there are events sprinkled throughout the year. And with the Young Republicans coming on strong, theres no shortage of opportunities to join in the fun! Sign up to help the Humboldt County Republican Central Committee with upcoming events, like the Auction Fundraiser in July (National best-selling author John Fund will be our keynote speaker, its sure to be a success!) PLUS: Were looking for writers for this newsletter, photos of the local area to help keep our Facebook page looking lively...

Rhody Parade Time!!!!!!

We always have a good time together as we not only celebrate Humboldt County, but we celebrate ourselves! Carol Del Biaggio has offered her awesome red truck for us to decorate and use for the event. We want walkers and riders, and the more, the merrier! We usually try to wear reds, white, and/or blue. I've submitted the papers and have requested that we be in tandem with the HCGOP. Grab those grandkids, husbands, friends, and dogs and join us in celebrating who we are!

Contact Annette at 442-2788 or 499-6310 for more information or "reservations" for this great activity.

Saturday, April 26th , 2014 This year's theme is Our Youth -- Ambassadors for the Future of Humboldt County.
