Back from Oklahoma City

Just returned from the NFRW BOD meeting which was held in Oklahoma City this time instead of in Washington DC. The new Executive Committee was installed and you could feel the energy and passion in the room. I was appointed to be Co-Chair of the Public Relations Committee and we are busy working on three major projects: getting all the 1600+ NFRW clubs in the nation wired one way or another by the Fall meeting in Charleston. A template has been developed which allows all clubs without a website to fill out an information form, send it to us and it will be posted on the www.republicanwomensclub.com website. Anyone that then goggles republican women club will go to this site and be able to find a club close to them. This website will function as a type of "yellow pages". Second we are working on a green grocery tote bag to be sold as a way to raise money for a pr campaign. And lastly, we are working on a video which will discuss why we are proud to be an American.

I listened to all the standing committee and their proposed projects for the next two years and if only half of what was proposed gets done it will have been an awesome two years.

It is always great to reconnect with women across the U.S. that share my values and thoughts. Many of them I have gotten to know over the years and have so much respect for. Others I have just met and immediately became a friend to. Thee were 28 new state presidents at this meeting. Young energetic young women who have a passion to "take our country" back and to move it forward.

In addition to the women, we had great speakers. J.C. Watts is one of my all time favorites and he did not disappoint. Angela Sailor, Coalitions Director for the RNC was extremely informative and I enjoyed getting to know her. She is someone that will remain a friend for years. She talked about how the RNC, under Michael Steele, has become much more pro-active instead of reactive. Good stuff. I attended the workshop put on my Vince Harris on new Social Media and learned alot, some of which I incorporated in the seminar/workshop Lisa Roper and I did the next day on pr.

Except for the traveling which gets worse all the time, It was a great 4 days. I look forward to working with these wonderful, smart, intelligent, energetic, passionate women over the next several years.
