Go Seahawks!

With football season going long in the Northwest, it is hard to focus on anything else. But I want to remind you all to get your dues in. This helps us with our news-letter, but most of all it keeps you informed and up to date. Mail your check today to PO Box 2711, Olympia, WA 98501.

Many of you will be attending our Day at the Capitol. We are looking forward to a turnout of over 200 ladies from across the state. We have confirmed the majority of our Republican Legislators to come and speak to us. This is a fabulous event. Don’t forget to wear your red coat.

Thank you all for your commitment to our club and our vision. We are looking for speakers for the rest of the year. Please let me know what, who or whom you would like to hear from. In March we will be auctioning off a Seahawks basket with memorabilia from the Super Bowl 49. You will not want to miss this chance.

And lastly, invite your friends, bring your neighbor and come to our great meetings and events.

Sincerely,

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK...

There is still time to get your dues in for this year!!!

From my desk to you: Happy 2015! I wanted to take a minute to bring you up to speed on

what’s happening in my office and what’s on tap for this new year. Never a dull moment!

Every division of the Office of Secretary of State is busy working on my challenge for us to be

OSOS21 – my vision for what the Secretary of State’s Office should accomplish in the next five

years. We’ll do business in fresh and innovative ways that look to the future and serve the peo-

ple of Washington in smart, cost-effective ways. It’s an ongoing passion for me, not some flavor

-of-the-month fad.

Looking ahead: As we are pulling out of the Great Recession, multibillion-dollar school fund-

ing mandates and other budget pressures are facing the Legislature, which will continue to pre-

sent us with great challenges in the months ahead.

Of particular concern to me is a $2.4 million hole in the Washington State Library budget.

Elections, Archives and our vision for a cost-effective facility to co-locate the Library and Ar-

chives also need our lawmakers’ attention.

I’m enthused about our capacity for providing service excellence to the voters and our cus-

tomers, and I couldn’t have a better staff. I’m pleased to have two new top leaders in the office;

Assistant Secretary Mark Neary and Deputy Secretary Greg Lane, who started their new posts

a few days ago.

As always, I appreciate your support for the important work that is before us. And … go

Hawks!

We’d like to congratulate our new Presidency for 2015 for TCWRC! Pictured above are,

President Shannon Vernon, Treasurer Nancy Morris, 1st Vice President Daniela Ander-

son, 2nd Vice President Pat Walton, and Secretary Teresa Spahr. We look forward to a

great year under their enthusiastic leadership.

It was a priviledge to have Roxanne Husmann do the installation of officers. We also en-

joyed a very encouraging and informatative speech from her at our January meeting.

Session Opens in Olympia: The WSRP attended the opening of the Legislative Session in Olympia on Monday

January 12th. It was great to cheer on our elected officials, especially those being sworn in for the first time. We

continue to have a strong relationship with the caucuses and are working with them to promote GOP principles and

good government.

Legislative Day and Reception: We are making plans for our State Committee Day at the Legislature and the

Reception following. You will be receiving details next week. Please set aside March 2nd for a trip to Olympia! We

will provide lunch, you will hear from our great GOP legislators, and the day is capped off with a lively cocktail party

at a local watering hole.
