    Boone County Republican Women’s Membership Luncheon
Posted by tchadmin on Wednesday, June 24 @ 11:17:34 EDT (3 reads)

The cake!

Dear Ladies,

A little reflection is good for the soul. And reflect we did at our Boone County Republican Women's membership luncheon on June 8, which was graciously hosted by Geneva Moody. Our president, Rosa Robb, treated us to a “blast from the past" by sharing some history of our Club's founding in 1932 (six years before the founding of the National Federated Republican Women's Club in 1938) and by inviting former Club presidents to share their memories with us. It was just the shot in the arm we needed to lift our spirits!

Geneva Moody ("The Hostess")

Rosa Robb and Jackie Luetkemeyer

There were 5 former presidents who attended-- Jane Shover (1985), Donna Spickert (1997-98), Susan DiPietre (1999-2002), Carole Iles (2005-06), and Faith Phillips (2007). Cindy Beale (1991-92) and Marie Glaze (1995-96) sent very nice e-mail messages, which were read by Laura Crane. Jane Shover recalled that back in 1985, most of their meetings were held in members' homes, but one particularly memorable one was at the Flaming Pit (Wasn't that in the old Parkade Plaza?). Donna Spickert and Carole Iles had similar circumstances, in that they both served as president after making valiant runs for the 24th District House seat, which Rosa's husband, Ed, held for two terms. Faith Phillips credited us with giving her the courage to speak to a group without fainting, and Susan DiPietre had the distinction of presiding over our Club in our "Glory Days" when our membership soared to 120 or so. It was fun to hear their stories of "the good ol' days."

In addition to our former presidents, we welcomed some other special guests--Jackie Luetkemeyer joined us (We are truly blessed to have Blaine representing us in the 9th District with all the madness in Washington, D. C.). Betty Miller shared stories of her father-in-law, Mr. Roy D. Miller (1941), who was the first Republican senator from Boone County since "Reconstruction" (1866-1868). And it was very nice of Sharon Barnes, who is a candidate for MoFRW treasurer, to join us. She gave us a pep talk and reminded us that we ladies are the voice of the Republican Party. She also paid us a compliment by saying that we have a lively group and that we aren't nearly as depressed as some of the other clubs around the state. Whew! I think that's good news. She concluded by urging us to volunteer at the MoFRW booth at the State Fair in Sedalia in August, and she assured us we would have a good time. We got a surprise visit from a former vice president of our Club (1999-2000), Gloria Hay, who moved to Wisconsin a few years ago; and we appreciate that Pat Thomas found time in her busy schedule to be with us. Other guests included Geneva's sister, Joanne Shell; Lucy Vianello, who remembered being a member 20 or 30 years ago; Connie McClellan, whose son came home to a hero's welcome after being injured in Iraq; and Mary Zieha and Marty Ryan (yes, we had a man there!), who both helped decorate for our chili supper. We were also happy that Teresa Kuss (a member since 2001) and Emily Kliethermes (from the Missouri Republican Party) could join us!

Thanks to all our regulars, who brought great salads and contributed to the lively conversation: Donna Hennigh, Ann Frank, Jean Morris, Lillian Morris, Joan Rawson (treasurer), Heather Haney (membership), Laura Crane and Helen St. John (programs)

Sincerely,
Jane Stuart

Congratulations to the Benton County RWC’s
Featured in this week’s NFRW Capital Connection




Club Spotlight
THE WEEK OF JUNE 8, 2009

BENTON COUNTY  REPUBLICAN WOMEN
Missouri

Benton County Republican Women’s Club hosted its second annual  Donation Collection Day on May 9, 2009, in front of the Wal-Mart in Benton County, Missouri.  This is a public service project supporting the Warrensburg Veterans’ Home in  Warrensburg. Missouri  has seven veterans’ homes. The club advertised the event to the public in the  local papers and on the radio for six days before the event. After the event,  the club wrote a letter-to-the-editor thanking the citizens of Benton County  for their help.

For two years, club members have collected money and items needed at the  veterans’ home. The club obtains a wish list from the home and then gives the  requested items to people buying at Wal-Mart. This has worked out great for the  home because people go to Wal-Mart, buy what is on the list and then donate it.  Some people drive up to the tent to donate things from their homes. One person  collected items all year to donate for this event. The club also collected  $450, which is about the cost for one month of ice cream for the veterans.

The Warrensburg Veterans’ Home has a thank you banquet once a year. The club  was invited, along with about 160 other volunteer organizations and individuals  to participate from around the state. The club plans to host this every year.

May 15, 2009

RE: 2009 Women of Tribute Information

Dear Club Presidents and MoFRW Board Members,

The 2009 Woman of Tribute Luncheon will be held at noon, Saturday August 29, 2009 at the Country Club of Missouri, located on 1300 Woodrail Avenue in Columbia, Missouri 65203, phone (573) 449-7201.

This is a special luncheon and an opportunity for your club to honor one of your local members who have done exceptional things during the last two years.  All that is required is for the local club to choose the honoree and send a brief biography to me by email at carrie@carriealmond.com.  The bio should be no longer than 250 words and should detail her accomplishments highlighting why she should be a Missouri Woman of Tribute and should be emailed no later than August 1, 2009.  A check for her luncheon fee of $30.00 should be sent to Louise Reasoner, MoFRW Women of Tribute Co-Chair, P. O. Box 255, Chillicothe MO 64601, along with any other family, friends or club member registrations you may have.

You will notice that a list of past recipients is available below.  This has been compiled from previous programs and is an attempt to give you history, so that different women may be recognized and clubs don’t inadvertently pick the same person.

The cost per person for the luncheon is $30.00 and the deadline for registrations is August 1, 2009.  Please send the biographies as soon as they are received in order for your honoree’s name and biography to be printed in the luncheon program.

It will be a wonderful luncheon and an opportunity to honor the women of Missouri who demonstrate the power of our organization across the state.

See you at the Country Club.

Carrie Almond
MoFRW President
on behalf of Co-Chairs
Louise Reasoner & Rosa Robb

Congratulations Leila Cohoon!

Leila Cohoon, a founding member of Santa Fe Trail Republican Women’s Club and MoFRW Women in Politics Chair, was featured on the Travel Channel’s Extreme Roadside Adventures segment tonight.  Leila is the owner and founder of Leila’s Hair Museum in Independence.  The Travel Channel’s website wrote:

This isn't a museum dedicated to antique hairdryers or barber chairs. It's not even a museum dedicated to the beehive, mullet or bob -- the walls at Leila's are adorned with artwork featuring human hair. Leila's is home to over 400 antique hair wreaths, an art form practiced by women in the Victorian period who collected hair from family members and twisted the strands into intricate patterns. The museum is also home to hatpins, necklaces, bracelets, broaches and rings all made with human hair.

Additionally, Leila claims to have hair from Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, George Washington, Aaron Burr, J.F.K. and John Lennon. Call ahead before you stop in and Leila herself will give you a personal tour.
