AWARDS EARNED IN 2007 AT NFRW Lake Conroe Area Republican Women earned the National Federation of Republican Women Diamond Award, which was presented at the NFRW convention recently held in Palm Springs, California. This Club Achievement Award is presented to local clubs that demonstrated excellence in membership development, campaign activities, programs and club functions. LCARW was also awarded First Place in the Caring for America Award. This award is given to local clubs that demonstrate excellence in community outreach. LCARW competes with clubs from all 50 states for these awards. Roz Dauzat and Judy Parada were greatly honored to accept these awards on behalf of our club. The officers, committee chairs and all of LCARW should be commended for their efforts in serving our community and should be very proud of these awards. It is definitely a team effort.

| Welcome Republican Women |
President’s Message by Karen Monshaugen Summer Time and the Livin’ Is Easy (Or, is it really?) The democrats are voting in record numbers. Please don’t let your party put itself in a false sense of security for the general election. Even though the democrats are currently engaged in bitter infighting, the Republican Party cannot become complacent. It is very important we get out the Republican vote. Please talk to your neighbors and friends about the issues and the true change our candidate offers. If the Democrats turn out for the general election like they have for the primaries; we are in trouble. Please let your neighbors and friends know that the plans that the Democrats offer are simply “bigger” plans of what we already have and not truly change that we all want. Thank you for you support of our candidates on the local and national level. Speaking of support, our party needs your FINANCIAL support as well as your vocal support. Yes, Karen is once again asking you for money. Our annual FUNDRIASER is next month, at the WALDEN YACHT CLUB, Friday, June 6. Who doesn’t want to go to the yacht club for a great, casual dinner and have fun and support a great cause at the same time? Stacy Knight and her committee of Joni Markowitz, Nancy Oughton, Miriam Burton, Barbara (Bah) Hilton, Nan McShan, Pam Stewart, Helena Van Orden and others have made sure we are all going to have a terrific, relaxed time being humiliated finding out if we are SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER! I watched the TV show last week and found out I am in trouble, so hang on and have fun. Please come and bring your friends. Our next general meeting will celebrate the winners of the “My American Hero” contest. This is always a special gathering of the winners, their parents, teachers, principals and school superintendents. It is great fun to listen to the creative writing these third graders use to describe their “Hero”. Please join us. Make sure you make your lunch reservation! After a summer of “livin’easy” our general meeting will be our literacy program on September 18 at Walden Yacht Club. Please call me for more details or if you would like to get more involved with our committees and programs. We thank you all and welcome you to join our group. |

It is a great pleasure to announce Kindal Wetuski of Willis, Texas is a 2008 Winner of the Dorothy Kabis Memorial Internship. She will be working at NFRW Headquarters in Washington D.C. from June 14 to July 26. Kindal was nominated by the Lake Conroe Area Republican Women.
Each year three young women receive the opportunity to spend six weeks working at NFRW. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens in their junior year of college or college students age 21 and over, having completed high school but not yet graduated from college. The internship provides housing, round-trip airfare, and a small monetary allowance.
In her application, Kindall wrote, “All I could think about when I found this scholarship was the fact that I could possibly be in D.C. for six weeks during an election year! That would be absolutely epic for me. I have had the opportunity to volunteer for a state representative and I have found that direct democracy is something that I find endlessly engaging. I love being able to help out in any way that I can.”
One of the three people writing a letter of endorsement wrote, “As a worker, Kindal contributes all of her efforts into every shift and is consistently punctual, if not early. She maintains a passionate interest in politics and social issues and never hesitates to defend her ethics or beliefs. She exhibits tenacity in attaining perfection in her work and individually identifies tasks to accomplish.”
Kindall is majoring in Government at UT-Austin. We wish her the best this summer and look forward to hearing her report of her internship.
