April President’s Message

April President’s Message

Jenny Donnelly brought her Mama Bear message “#Don’t Mess With Our Kids” to  our BHRW March meeting. Her presentation was powerful, and her entourage of young women was enthusiastic as well. We also welcomed visitors from other Republican Women Clubs, expanding and solidifying our connections with our sister clubs and strengthening our relationships with them. 
    Jenny’s influence continues into April, as she encourages women through hervoicemvmt to participate in her national event #Don’t Mess With Our Kids Call To The Capitols April 13, 2024. This event calls for a gathering at each state capitol and Washington, DC. It is “One day, One nation, 50 states united” on this Saturday, April 13 from 1:00-3:00 local time. Check out the links above, and  this FaceBook link to read more information on Oregon’s gathering. I hope you join me in front of the Capitol building in Salem this Saturday at 1:00!

I also invite you to attend our upcoming April Membership meeting Thursday, April 18th at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Tanasbourne. Check-in begins at 11:00 and our speakers include:
     Will Lathrop: Learn about him and why he can be an effective State District Attorney
