Republican Club

At the February Republican Club meeting, President David Harlow issued a call to Republicans, to not only vote, but also to volunteer and help Republicans running for office. Volunteers are needed to walk, phone and possibly stuff mailers, he said. The hope is to help Republican candidates gain seats in the Senate, House of Representatives and state offices throughout the country. Harlow also said that the club would focus on reaching voters in LW, rather than beyond the walls, with the club’s main focus centered on family values.

Harlow also said the club is planning a rally for April with Congresswoman Michelle Steel as the headline speaker. All other Republican candidates from this area will be invited to speak.

Harlow complimented club member Susan Kelleghan for her work on the club’s website, which can be viewed at www. lwrepublicans.com.

••• The mini-Valentine’s Day party at the club booth was a huge success as Republicans feasted on cookies and all things chocolate. The booth was decorated with hearts of many colors.

The booth is open Mondays from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. outside Clubhouse 6. Volunteers continue to collect signatures for the School Choice Initiative. This ballot proposition, if passed, will make it possible for parents of all income groups to send their children to the school of their choice, whether it be a secular private school, religious school, charter school or home school. This will be done by providing up to $14,000 per child for parents who choose educational alternatives to public schools.

The club meets the third Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2.

Club membership is free. To join the club or receive more information, residents can call (714) 928-1950.
