“As long as there is chocolate, there will be happiness.”—Wayne Gerard Trotman
February means chocolate, and chocolate brings people together. And sometimes, as in the case of the PebbleCreek Republican Club, people come together to share fellowship while learning more about their country and state government. Over 180 members attended the February meeting.
President Patricia Moore introduced the evening’s speakers, Arizona State Senator Janae Shamp and State Representatives Steve Montenegro and Austin Smith, representing Legislative District 29. The challenges and goals for the next two years were discussed, including the importance of passing legislation relating to water issues and the Arizona border. April Smith, Arizona Free Enterprise Club, shared a unique resource, “Request to Speak.” This is a way to let our legislators know how we feel regarding Arizona proposed bills as they navigate their way through the legislative system.
Congratulations were extended to newly elected AZGOP Chair Jeff DeWit. Austin Smith was elected as one of three AZGOP Members at Large to the Board. Jeff Specter, club member and Precinct Captain, received the AZGOP prestigious 2022 “Victory Champion Award.”
