Message and Invitation from Jean Munday, Membership Chair
I am hoping that you can help in Gig Harbor Republican Women’s efforts to keep moving in the RIGHT direction!
The best way to insure the conservative results we want in 2012 is to continue working step-by-step toward that goal. The greater the active membership in GHRW, the more success we will have in achieving our goals, as follows:
1) Promote political awareness,
2) Elect qualified Republican candidates, and
3) Volunteer in education and community service.
So, what can YOU do to help reach our goals?
1) Join or renew your membership
2) Encourage someone you know to become a member
3) Invite someone you know to one of our events
