March, 2010

Dear Ladies,

As leaders in one of the largest women's political organizations we are Springing Into Action in 2010 to recruit and elect Republicans, so we can Take Back Washington State.

On April 23 and 24, 2010 the Board of Directors will meet at Campbell’s Resort to network, encourage and plan our strategy together. This meeting will also include workshops and guest speakers, ready to give you the tools you need, to educate yourself and empower other Republican women.

If you are a President or District Director, I strongly encourage you to attend the workshop especially designed to support you in effectively accomplishing club and district goals this year. Also, if you are looking for some easy tips to recruit and retain volunteers, you will want to attend the Lazy Leaders workshop. Saturday morning there will be a workshop, just in time for the Campaign Season. Come learn how you can take on a leadership role on campaigns or run for office yourself. Our Saturday board meeting will address important issues, such as selecting a nominating committee, plans for the Fall 2010 convention and much more. I will have a report on the NFRW Spring Board meeting in Oklahoma.

Space is limited for the workshops, so if you have a non-voting guest who is interested in attending a workshop they will need to register and pay a small workshop only-fee. Guests can also attend both days by paying the regular registration fee.

We will have Senator Pam Roach as our speaker on Friday. She will share her experience as a Woman in Politics. Former Gubernatorial candidate and Senator, Dino Rossi will be our speaker at the Saturday luncheon. Guests are welcome to attend the luncheon and dinner but must pay and RSVP beforehand. The Winners’ Circle will be another amazing event at the Tsillan Cellars that you won’t want to miss! You can find the application to join Winners’ Circle here.

It is vital that every member of the WFRW Board of Directors -- District Directors, Club Presidents and Committee Chairs -- attend all of the scheduled board meetings so we can conduct business of the organization with a quorum. Only Club Presidents can send a proxy and the proxy cannot already be a voting member on the board.

I look forward to seeing you April 23, 24 as we join together to build our Federation in Washington State.

All the Best,
