The PebbleCreek Republican Club enjoyed a large, enthusiastic turnout Thursday, March 5 at its monthly meeting in the Tuscany Falls Ballroom. During the business meeting the membership was reminded that, for the second time in the last three years, the club has been honored to be awarded the best Arizona Republican Club for 2014.
The Guest Speaker was Donald Critchlow, Director of the ASU Center for Political Thought and Leadership. A prolific author, his most recent books include American Political History: A Very Short Introduction and When Hollywood was Right: How Movie Moguls, Film Stars and Big Business Remade American Politics.
General Editor for the New Oxford Encyclopedia of American Political and Legal History, Mr. Critchlow teaches courses on American conservatism, political thought, political conspiracy and contemporary American history at ASU.
Mr. Critchlow covered a number of topics including the lack of civic understanding among many college age people and our current ISIS crisis. Time ran out for all the questions to be answered so the speaker took time after the meeting to speak with many of the members.
The Annual Picnic will be held April 2 inside and outside the Chianti Room. Speaker will be Attorney General Mark Brnovich who will address immigration, lawsuits and Arizona issues in the past four years in the Renaissance Theatre.
