A Message From
President Bonnie Hochberg
Page 2
Hello All,
Happy New Year to you all. As Ellen Goodman, renown
American journalist and Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist
said, “We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by
room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched.
Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the
rooms of our lives….not looking for flaws, but for potential.”
As Republican women, discouraged by 2012’s dismal election
results, we need to “draw up a list of work to be done, not looking for
flaws,” or blame, but to work in concert to fortify our Republican party, promote exceptional candidates
and make our voices heard. We love our country, cherish its values and appreciate the efforts of our
elected representatives and our military.
I’m proud to be your 2013 ARW President. I look forward to working alongside you this year. Our
Executive Board and appointed committeewomen are as excited and eager as I am to continue to make
Arrowhead Republican Women the award-winning Republican club it has always been.
QUIPS & QUOTES:
FROM PAST PRESIDENT, Jan Martinson:
LOOK TO THIS DAY: Look to this day, for it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the realities and truths of existence,
the joy of growth, the splendor of action, the story of power.
For yesterday is but a memory,
and tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well-lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day.
(The writer is anonymous, -- I wish I had written it, Jan M. )
A quote from The “Duke” —John Wayne
"Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from today."
By Lezlee Alexander - 2nd Vice-President (Membership)
Hello, friends!
Wow! What a GREAT response we’ve had to our Renewal Round-Up! Yee-haw! We’re at 50% return rate which is definitely up from last year! Your ARW membership runs through December 31, so it’s time for EVE-RYONE to get their renewals in BEFORE MARCH 15!
We’re looking forward to drawing TWO names for a $20 luncheon at our January meeting for our Renewal Round-Up! All those that renewed before December 31 will be entered into the drawing. Let’s keep the prize fun going though – we’ll draw for a prize at the February luncheon for those that renew in JANUARY!
New members are critical to the ongoing success of a club. You ladies are AWESOME with recruitment! You always do such a great job sharing the news about ARW with your friends. New friends joining our lunch-eons tend to lead to new memberships. You honestly can’t beat all the benefits of being a Federated woman, between the resources available amongst the club members let alone State and National informa-tion! The contacts, the speakers, the energy and excitement to go out and get the job done whether in your neighborhood while you’re chatting with friends or as a Precinct Committeewoman – you can’t beat it for only $30/year. And don’t forget to get those husbands and our winter visitor friends involved as Associate members for only $10/year!
Don’t forget – one EASY way to let friends know about us is through our website ———————
www.arrowheadrw.weebly.com. You can also find YOUR copy of the newsletter or luncheon reservation or other news (easier than digging through your inbox!) on the website under ARW News. The website is a great PR tool to help others find us, but it’s also designed to make YOUR life easier in finding the important bits about our club activities.
You know I love prizes and I hope you do to. We have a BIG speaker for our January meeting making it a GREAT opportunity to bring those guests! Let’s have a prize at our January meeting for the member bringing the Most Guests in January!
We’re looking forward to a fun year in ARW! Thanks for being a part of it!
Membership application follows—this needs to be completed by new and renewing members.
