Pitch in for Politics

Every Penny Counts and Helps Elect Republicans!

Why does CCRW have garage and used clothing sales, door prize drawings and silent auctions? It's grassroots fundraising at its simplest! By cleaning out your cupboards, closets or garages or using your spare change for door prize tickets, we keep the coffers full. It's amazing how fast those dollars add up. We're able to fund our special projects and more because of your generosity each month. We're grateful for your participation and always welcome your ideas for new ways we can all "Pitch in for Politics!"

I've been fortunate to have been a member of the CCRW for the past eight years. I enjoy being a part of this group, the activities are fun and so is the company! As a bonus, our activities support Republican candidates and related issues in which I strongly believe.

I have a Native American background.  I was born in Oklahoma and raised with traditional Creek Indian values such as respect for your elders, the earth and your family. I was taught to work hard to reach my goals and help others when I'm able. I enjoyed dressing in regalia, dancing in pow wows, watching dance contests and having traditional foods. My Dad is Athabascan and lives in Upper Kalskag.  My grandfather was a German immigrant and early settler in Upper Kalskag.  He was mayor there a long time ago, as was my Dad and currently my Aunt Betty is mayor.

At one point, my Mom decided to come to Alaska to visit her sisters. Like so many visitors, she decided to stay. I graduated from Juneau Douglas High school and went off to college for a year but ended up needing to work full time in order to make ends meet. I've been working in state government for 23 years, 13 years with the State of Washington and the past 10 with the State of Alaska. I'm an Administrative Officer II for the SE Region of the Department of Transportation & Public Facilities. We manage a budget of about $32 million to design, build and maintain the roads and highways in SE Alaska. I like working for DOT&PF and enjoy the tangible results of our work.

One of the activities of CCRW that I've always been involved in is the decorating of the Governor's House for Christmas. While it's a lot of work, I consider it to be an honor and revel in the beauty of the historical home every time I go inside. Hope to see you all there this November!

My name is Genoveva "Geny" Del Rosario.  I am running for the Assembly and wanted to introduce myself.  I was born in the Philippines and earned a Bachelors Degree from the University Of Santo Tomas, Manila. In 1987 I was a recipient of a Rotary International program to the State of Virginia. I then immigrated to California and became a realtor - later moving to Nevada where I was appointed Philippine Tourism Coordinator and also ran for Nevada State Assembly.

In 2004 we visited Alaska and I fell in love with Juneau. In 2005 I started Crowne Travel crew shuttle and also became a licensed childcare provider and foster parent. Today my sister and I operate the Manila Sunset Grill House.

Community Service is my passion. I have spent twenty years volunteering. I was president of the Philippine Chamber in Nevada and was a member of the Nevada State College Diversity Council Advisory Committee.

I am a member of the Juneau Human Rights Commission, Board Member/P.R.O. Filipino Community INC,  League of Women Voters, the Filipino-American Association and am also a proud member of Capital City Republican Women.

 I believe diversity is key to unity. Diversification is essential to growth and prosperity. I believe in good government. As public servants we have a fiduciary responsibility to manage the city's financial resources, hold the line on taxes and use our resources wisely.

Sparking criticism from Democrats such as Senators John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, Republican President Dwight Eisenhower places the Arkansas National Guard under Federal control and sends 1,000 Army troops to escort nine African American students into Little Rock Central High School, an all-white public school.  The episode served as a catalyst for the integration of other segregated schools in the United States.
