Dear Members and Friends,
I hope that you all had a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving.
We have had a fantastic 2024 and we can now celebrate and be thankful for so many things, especially the upcoming inauguration of President Trump.
Here are some of our many outstanding accomplishments as a club in 2024:
Exceptional attendance at our luncheons, especially with Larry Elder (175 attendees) and Steve Hilton (220 attendees)
We have ended the year with 141 members
Educating our members: We’ve had great speakers. They have educated us on hot topics, therefore putting us in a good position for 2025
We honored four veterans at our May 15 th military luncheon
We have partnered with the Young Republicans- they are the future of our party
Several SCARW members were actively supporting and helping our Republican candidates during this past election cycle
The SCARW Facebook page has 190 followers and is still growing
Maintained fiscal soundness
Recognized several members with 20 plus years as members
We had two successful evening events, one in June and one in November
Our Military Outreach Committee held two very successful events (baby shower and Thanksgiving dinners) at Camp Pendleton and will be collecting toys for children of
Marines at our December meeting
A big congratulations to Daphne Ashbrook who will be our VP of Programs and Nickie Swartz will be our Membership Director in 2025. I will be announcing several appointments for next year at our December 11th luncheon.
We still have a lot of work to do and it is important for us to stay engaged and involved. I will be identifying our organizations volunteer needs and will be reaching out to you in the New Year. If you can spare some time to help out, it would be greatly appreciated. Even just a few hours can make a big difference. Let us continue to work towards a brighter future, not just for California but for our country. Together, we will achieve greater success in 2025!
Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas & Happy Chanukah!
Sincerely,
President Judy
