Karen Cuneo Newton President, T.F.R.W.

This Holiday season seemed to go on and on, and I am hoping it officially ended with Clemson’s win over Alabama. Time to get back to work!

The Board worked through the Holidays and have planned so many events in 2019 that I hope to see many of you attend. The first board meeting was the second weekend in January at The Westin Domain in Austin. A fantastic venue as we have so many shopping, entertainment, and dining options all within walking distance of the hotel. Friday morning, Glynis Chester and Jill Tate organized a service project benefiting Traffick911. Our first Patron Event was held at the hotel and Derek Ryan was our speaker. I sincerely hope our attendees stayed for the meeting and didn’t sneak out for some extra shopping time! We will be at The Westin again in July.

On January 16-17, the National Federation of Republican Women Region 5 hosted a Regional Meeting in New Orleans. Our own Community Engagement Chair Kit Whitehill presented at this event.

Since the July Board Meeting, Becky Berger, Glynis Chester, Julie Faubel and Kit Whitehill, have been organizing Belles‘N Boots and Legislative Day.

Scroll though this newsletter to learn more about all the fabulous events and activities they have planned. Sherry Peterson, Debbie Roan, and their Convention Committee meet the first Wednesday of every month, and they have Galveston by the tail!

You are not going to want to miss convention this October, we have the entire facility to ourselves.

ResolutionsHappy New Year!

There is something about New Years that just makes my heart smile. Perhaps it’s the prospect that every day has the potential to be great; maybe it’s because each day provides the possibility of impacting others in a positive way; or perhaps it’s just my annual chance to hit the “reset” button. You know, I think we could all use a sanctioned “Do Over.”

I read the news, watch interviews, and am generally appalled at the level of discourse that we have regressed to. From politicians to celebrities, news programs to reality television, the lack of civility is horrifying. My mother used to tell me to,

My resolution this Do-Over Day is to make that my motto for 2019. I hope that you will join me in renewing your commitment to elevating our dialogue to one civility and respect when sharing our Republican message. As women we are the natural leaders in this area!

“Always speak kindly and with respect because people will

remember the method in which you deliver your message long after they

forget the content of it.”

It is an honor and privilege to serve you, and I would love to have your input, suggestions, and feedback at [email protected].

Hey, Ladies, Guess What Time it is?! If you said “the 2020 Presidential Campaign season,” give yourself a Gold Star! Yes indeed, the USA will need TFRW women working earnestly on its behalf. You need only look at the November election results to see why we are needed now more than ever. As we begin 2019, please remember the following:

• We need to seriously increase our membership numbers this year. “Just One More” is a great slogan, but this is Texas, and we can do better than that. Go BIG or go home, right?!

• Read through your Award criteria and plan your meetings for the year now. I want everyone to win, win, win at convention!

• Smile! It’s a brand New Year!

It’s time to renew your Patron membership or join Patron’s! We had some fun and unique programs this year. We shared bubbles, received a headshot and learned how to take selfies; we had an insider only tour of the Texas Supreme Court by Justice Lehrmann; Karl Rove was a surprise visitor in July and we ended our year with a reception in the Speakers Apartment with a historical tour of the House Chamber.

Please renew your membership for 2019 or join the Patron Program. Here is a link to provide an easy way to renew/join. https://www.tfrw.org/about/patrons/. If you are a Club, we encourage you join to allow one of your members to represent your club at Patron events, it is interchangeable.

It has been our honor to Co-Chair Patrons, we look forward to 2019. We met at the January board meeting to hear from Derek Ryan from Ryan Data and Research, “Looking at the Data, What was Learned About our Candidates and Campaigns.”

Welcome 2019 and the 86th Texas Legislature!

With the New Year, comes a new legislative session in Texas. On Tuesday, January 8th, the Texas Senate, led by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick gaveled in to session with 19 Republicans and 12 Democrats. The House of Representatives elected Representative Dennis Bonnen of Angleton as its new Speaker. He will lead the 83 Republicans and 67 Democrats during the term.

The issues of the 140-day regular session are wide-ranging from financial and economic (budget, school finance, property taxes) to requiring the University of Texas and Texas A&M University to play a regular-season football game against one another in November each year.

Lawmakers have until Friday, March 8th to file bills to be considered during the regular session. During the 85th Regular Session a total of 10,672 bills were proposed with 4,960 being passed and 51 vetoed. As of this writing, over 900 bills have been drafted with many more to come.

The Election is Over- What Now?

Reporting Your HoursThe deadline for reporting 2018 Fourth Quarter Campaign Activities Hours was Tuesday, JANUARY 15. That will be hours completed from October-December.

The deadline for reporting 2019 First Quarter Campaign Activities Hours is Monday, APRIL 15. That will be hours completed from January-March.

Don’t slack off on collecting hours!

If you would like a program for your club on what campaign activities hours are, why we collect them, etc., please let me know. I will be available on a limited basis through the spring. I hope to be at many of your regional workshops as well and will let you know where I’ll be!

Reporting Form Reminder: We’ve put a link to the reporting form under “Programs” on the front page of the website. You do not have to log in to access the form! Please use the form for your quarterly reports! https://www.tfrw.org/careportingform/

Questions, comments, etc., please email me at [email protected]

What Counts Now?• Testifying at a city council, school board, or

commissioners’ court meeting

• Testifying in committee at the Texas Legislature

• Calling or writing to members of Congress

• Calling or writing to members of the Texas Legislature

• Calling or writing to your local elected officials

• Serving on boards or committees for local governments

Nonpartisan Races in May• And don’t forget that we have non-partisan local

elections in many jurisdictions in May! Now is the time to recruit candidates for those roles – you may be electing school board trustees or other local officials in May, and filing for those offices may already be underway. Ever consid-ered running for office? There is no time like the present!

• Remember – TFRW clubs, club presidents, and campaign activities chairs CANNOT endorse in non-partisan races where more than one known Republican is running. A “known Republican” is someone who voted in the last GOP primary in Texas – so, if they voted GOP in March 2018, they count. You can get that information very easily from your county GOP.

by VP Campaign Activities Michele [email protected]

Political Action

The partisan November election is behind us, but there are still campaign activities to accomplish! In fact, this is the season that has inspired the idea to call all of this “POLITICAL ACTION.” You will still be completing and reporting campaign hours.

New Year’s Resolutions1. Report your club’s hours on time.

2. Report using the online form! Bookmark it and make it a habit! https://goo.gl/forms/Hz2zC7CSbfRmdnl22

3. Encourage your club members to stay politically active and engaged - follow your school district, city, and county governments, the Texas Legislature, and Congress.

TEXAS FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN PRESIDENT’S NEWSLETTER | JANUARY 2019

Did you think the only way to raise money was with Social Media or online crowdfunding?

Red Cup Party — Host a cocktail party and have participants buy red Solo cups at the door, at a wildly inflated price to be donated to your cause.

Clothing Swap — Everyone brings a bag of clothes they don’t wear anymore. Set everything up on retail racks, and let participants “shop” the swap for one new piece of apparel. Donate all the rest to charity.

Community Garage Sale — Most people have tons of stuff they are secretly dying to get rid of. Have them donate it to a neighborhood sale with the proceeds going to your charity.

Chili Cook-off — Charge by the steamy, spicy bowl and ask a few local microbrews to donate the beer to wash it down.

Food Truck Rodeo — You simply need a parking lot, a permit, and a handful of local food trucks willing to attend. Charge for entrance, and the food trucks can still charge their normal prices inside.

Bake Sale — This is an oldie but definitely still a goodie. Stand out with a theme that’s on point with your fundraising focus, like baked goods made from locally sourced ingredients to benefit local farmers.

All-inclusive Pancake Breakfast — Make sure you offer options for everyone — the gluten free, the vegan, the sugar-free, and the foodie who will eat anything.

Celebrity Cooking Class — Find a local chef willing to host a class in his kitchen (or rent one) and end the lesson with a lively and intimate group dinner.

Film Screening — Is there a documentary related to your cause? Host a night at the movies replete with popcorn and candy.

We still have the Adams/Bush Portraits with the passing of both First Lady Barbara and President George H. W. Bush, these limited edition prints make great collector items for your political efficinados. They are excellent auction items as well.

Fundraising and Influencing Community

by VP Finance Becky Berger [email protected]

Fundraising

Facts to keep in mind: 1. 80% of Americans believe

it’s essential for people to come together to promote positive change.

2. 1 in 5 Americans attended an event to support a particular cause in the last year.

3. Three-quarters of adults ages 18-34 believe that attending a live event is more impactful than taking action online.

Growing Your ClubHappy New Year, Ladies!

What does 2019 bring us? We’re all wondering what will happen with a democrat Congress. We’re wondering how much more difficult will it be in our own state legislature with the loss of twelve Republican state reps. Are we even aware of the next nine that the democrats are targeting?

We must GROW AND EDUCATE our Republican base. TFRW plays a huge part in our Republican mission. WE are the ‘engine’ that makes this state work. First, I’d like to encourage each club to ADD a 5-minute EDUCATION SPOT to each general meeting. For example, your first infomercial might be to share a page about the Texas Court system [easily googled] with your club. Share how that on November 6th that Republicans lost 30/31 Appellate Judge seats across our state.

By the way, Clubs – I’ve only heard from two-thirds of our 150 clubs as to who is the new club President. 100 of you have sent in your contact info to the TFRW office OR contacted me directly. Fifty of you have not shared this info yet. We NEED to hear from every club today.

Next, SET MEMBERSHIP GOALS. We need to endeavor to be larger than ever before. A lot of people are moving to our state and we must GROW our organization. We need to convince new friends that Republican values are the reason that they moved to Texas to begin with. DON’T MESS with success! DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS VALUES! All clubs should have a business card with their info on the front and Republican values on the

back. [TEXT ME – I’ll share the card info with you.] Do NOT be discouraged when everyone joining does not ‘go to work’ in the club. If TFRW clubs are at least getting info into the minds and hearts of people, you’re doing a great job. Only a ‘few’ ever end up being the ‘worker bees’ in ANY organization. We don’t need to lose sight of how important it is to get information out to as many people as possible.

Then, Membership Chairs – it’s time for you to hold those CALLING PARTIES. Your Christmas and holiday gatherings are over, and ideally, everyone should already be re-upped in your club. But we know that isn’t always the case. SO, get your team together. You should have at least one team member for every 25 members of your club who has NOT rejoined. Large, jumbo, and super jumbo clubs – this makes for a big team! Divide up your list and each team member needs to be committed to following up with their 25. Let’s get everyone on board NOW! These 2018, 2017, and 2016 members need to be called, texted, and emailed. FOLLOW-UP WITH GOING BY HOMES AND COLLECTING MEMBERSHIP DUES, if needed. Ladies, several email announcements will NOT get this job done. We have to be willing to put feet to our efforts.

Here’s what Republicans know for sure--

Baytown RW enjoying their first Christmas party.

TEXAS FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN PRESIDENT’S NEWSLETTER | JANUARY 2019

Talk, talk, talk about joining! Mention membership at every board meeting, every general meeting, every Republican community meeting. Talk about joining the next time you have your hair frosted, get your nails done, stand in long lines at the grocery store. Mention it to your friends in your other organizations and at your church activities. EVERYONE CARRY MEMBERSHIP FORMS, even if your club has online membership renewal. Don’t assume that everyone is already a member for 2019. And think about giving a RW MEMBERSHIP to your good friends for their BIRTHDAY.

We ALL know that TEXAS is in the crosshairs of the democrats. NOW, is the time to set them straight on who governs TEXAS. Now, is the time to build that huge army. NUMBERS, Ladies, DO SPEAK VOLUMES! Don’t think that they don’t.

I am a TEXT away. Your email may get lost in the mass that I receive daily, but your text or phone call will have me contacting you very quickly. Let’s do this, Ladies!

(continued from previous page)

• Most organizations saw a dramatic increase in recurring monthly donations last year, and that furor is continuing into 2019. Similar to the RPT Grassroots program, your club can benefit from online donations from your website, or publicize monthly contributions with giving envelopes as a practical and manageable way for donors to give more over time.

• Monthly givers are so important. Their repeated contributions help subsidize the budget that is otherwise sustained by multiple fundraising

events. When a donor gives on a monthly basis it not only increases their long-term value, but they stay on file longer allowing you to discover secondary affiliations and promote more giving opportunities.

• So MAKE IT REAL with recurring giving options on the main donation page and create a campaign featuring individuals who are monthly givers with the positive influence they have on your club’s affect for good government.
