There are many opportunities to lift thanks to our Creator over the next few months, starting with National Day of Prayer on May 7. I hope you will attend a prayer service somewhere…at your church, in your homes, or on the steps of City Hall.

KARW is thankful for the Campaign Activities award won at Legislative Day. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst is very supportive and generous to Republican Women’s Clubs, and we appreciate his gracious hospitality and monetary gift. Special thanks to Glenda Piacenti for preparing a great Silent Auction donation as our contribution to TFRW’s fundraiser event.
Thanks to all of you who participated in the TEA Parties on April 15! We’re anticipating more of the same around July 4th and will keep you advised as we learn more details!
Plan to be part of our July 4th Kingwood Parade! Alice Rekeweg will coordinate this event, and information will be forthcoming.
Many of our members attended the Open House of Congressman Ted Poe on May 1. Thanks to those who brought food and acted as Greeters. A great time was had by all!
We have just learned about school closings in Humble ISD due to the swine flu. Please be alert to those around you who display symptoms of this disease; be diligent in personal hygiene; and above all, be prayerful that this illness will be halted quickly. Also, please pray for our wonderful Humble ISD Board of Trustees and teachers who are “in the line of fire” when situations like this arise. And VOTE on May 9th or before!
God bless our Mothers, our Fathers, our Armed Forces, and our Nation!
