President's Message
Emily Pataki

                                      Emily 
 
  
 
The 2013 Legislative season is in full swing, both at home here in Austin and in Washington, D.C.  While we have much faith in most of our elected officials in the Texas Legislature to produce bills we can support, I know many of us are concerned about what is happening in our nation's capital.  It is crucial that we reach out to our representatives in Congress and urge them to protect and defend our Constitutional rights from those that are attempting to strip them away.  Stay informed and stay involved - our activism is as important now as it has ever been.
  
The Williamson County Republican Party is hosting it's Annual Reagan Dinner on February 18, 2013 with keynote speaker, Sen. John Cornyn.  This event will be an ideal setting to hear directly from our Texas Senator about the challenges facing conservatives in Washington and how they could affect us in Texas.  For reservations,  call Nita at 512- 635-6482 or email davidsondr@ecpi.com.
  
Please be sure to RSVP to and attend our February luncheon.  With the increased costs at our facility, it is crucial that we have a strong showing each month to insure we maintain a balanced budget.  Our speaker, David Valdez, has a fantastic program prepared and you will not want to miss it!
Due to our increase in facility costs, we will now require that all luncheon attendees pay the standard member or nonmember fees.  Any questions regarding this policy, please contact Emily Pataki at president@williamsoncountyrepublicanwomen.com.  We appreciate your support and cooperation in this matter

Fundraising 
 

Hollidaze WCRW has two wonderful friends who help us with fundraising.  Kathie Holliman of Hollidaze Gifts is a long-time supporter and often brings a wide assortment of Republican-themed items to club luncheons, including her popular "Republican Women are the Life of the Party" shirts. Kathie donates a portion of each sale back to WCRW.  You can order these shirts by emailing republicanlady@ymail.com
