Happy New Year, Blessings! As we look forward to 2025, there is much to celebrate and hope to reflect upon. This new year brings expectations that will require you and me to stay encouraged and engaged to help ensure the momentum of big Republican wins keeps moving forward. Let’s do this! A big CTRW thank you to our December guest speaker, TFRW 1st VP Debra Harper, who shared updates on the direction the Texas Federation of RW took in 2024, what priorities are still ahead for 2025, the 89th Legislative Session, and installing a stellar new 2025 Central Texas RW Executive Board. If you missed our December meeting, I had the opportunity to share accolades to the 2024 CTRW Board and how important each member is in ensuring the success and future of Central Texas RW. And a sweet surprise from the board members, who were very generous in sharing a card and collecting a donation to a favorite local charity, the CACCT, on my behalf. To kick off January 2025, plan to RSVP for the 13th as we welcome Debra Longley, ED of Children’s Advocacy Center of Central Texas, as our featured speaker. Do you know what the CACCT does on behalf of children and families in our community? Please make plans to hear Debra Longley, take time to meet her on January 13th. Also, the 89th Legislative Session begins on January 14th, when oaths of office will be administered in Austin – I’ll be there. Once again, I will be helping to lead a Capital Tuesday meet-up from 10 am – 2 pm in Austin. You will find more details about joining the meet-up with our representatives and senators in the newsletter. On January 20th, we will celebrate the Inauguration of the 47th President, Donald J. Trump, and the CTRW RED ROOF Connections has planned a community engagement at Cantina 1984 in Temple. Please RSVP, celebrate, and support a local small business. Friends, join me in a toast to our Republican candidates elected this year—YOU helped do that! Let’s toast the bright future of CTRW, our Republican Party, our President, our Governor, and Texas. As a valued member, you are the leadership heartbeat within the Bell County community, especially as you share membership with friends, coworkers, or business acquaintances – let’s grow. I look forward to seeing and meeting you at our January 13th kick-off meeting at the Belton Harris Community Center. Keep Bell County and Texas RED!
