The PebbleCreek Republican Club held its April meeting and annual Spring Luncheon on Thursday, April 4, in the Chianti Room in the Tuscany Falls Clubhouse. Social time began at 11:30 a.m. and the luncheon followed at noon.
A full house enjoyed mixing and mingling before the luncheon, which was a wonderful selection of tequila lime chicken, PC steak salad or vegetarian spinach artichoke crepes.
Following the business meeting led by President Bari Cavallo, we are delighted to have Kelli Ward as our speaker for the luncheon. She is the newly elected Republican Party of Arizona Chairman and will speak about her unifying vision for the party and her top four priorities as chairman: 1. Full activation of the grassroots; 2. Ensure election integrity; 3. Prepare for redistricting and make sure it’s done right; and 4. Maximize fundraising to win big in 2020.
This woman is dynamite and gave an especially comprehensive and inspiring message, covering all the aspects of the work her office is pursuing towards greater voter representation in Arizona and getting young voters involved.
