February 2014 President’s Corner

February 2014

President¡¯s

Corner

Happy New Year!!!! We had our Christmas Party in December and our new board was

sworn in. I am excited to work with the board to educate and inspire Republican

Women. This is an election year and my theme, as SNRW President, is TAKE BACK

AMERICA. We can accomplish this by educating our members, our neighbors, and our

communities.

Many do not know what and who we are as Republicans. Many do not know that it was

the Republicans that gave women the right to vote. It was Republicans that freed the

slaves in this country. It is Republicans that hold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights

as high standards for our country, given to us by our founding fathers. We, as

Republican Women, have much to be proud of as we resolve to TAKE BACK

AMERICA in 2014!

This year also marks 150 years since Nevada received its Statehood. We are Battle Born

and proud of it!! You can go to to find all the happenings for the

150 year celebration.

Please remember our St Patrick¡¯s celebration coming up March 2nd at CVIC Hall. This

is our only fundraiser and we are able to contribute to Republican Candidates. Plus, it is

a whole lot of fun.

I am constantly inspired by the tireless efforts of our SNRW members. All of whom

share a true commitment to our mission and to sharing our Republican message to the

community we live in. I look forward to serving as SNRW President and will do the best

job I can do for you.

Looking forward to a wonderful year!

Jill Dimock

President

RECOMMENDED READING

Last August, Nancy Brisack recommended Glenn Beck's, The Overton

Window to SNRW members. Sandy Offenstein now recommends its

sequel, The Eye of Moloch, 2013, Threshold Editions. After reading

The Overton Window, and finding out that Glenn Beck had completed a

sequel, Sandy was anxious to read The Eye of Moloch. She also had

enjoyed, and recommends, Glenn Beck¡¯s Agenda 21.

On the other hand, MediaMatters has nothing good to say about any of these books. Both Sandy¡¯s

recommendation, and MediaMatters¡¯ critique, may cause you to rush right out to get copies of Glenn

Beck¡¯s bestsellers.

In The Eye of Moloch, the author re-introduces us to Molly Ross. Molly is a young woman who has

taken up a battle for freedom in a secret war she had discovered was being waged for the future of

America. Molly and her group, ¡°Founders¡¯ Keepers,¡± do battle against well-funded, elite tyrants who

believe that power to rule should be in their hands only. These elites will stop at nothing to destroy

our country.

Thank you, Sandy for your recommendation. Your Constitution Committee invites recommendations

so that we can pass them along to our members. We have received some intriguing ones since the

committee was formed a few years ago. Please keep them coming and we will keep passing them

along.

Dear SNRW Friends,

A quick note to thank you all for your help and participation that made 2013 such a successful year for

Sierra Nevada Republican Women. As your 2012-2013 President I was always so proud to talk about

and brag about our Club to anyone who would listen. I know you will give Jill the same support in

this next exciting election year.

I also want to thank you all for the extremely beautiful engraved Jewelry Box I was presented at the

last meeting. It is something I will cherish for years to come. I loved being your President, but know I

will also love being a Past President.

Thank you again for the gift and support.

Most fondly,

Nancy J. Jarvis
