THE AUSTIN PATRONS EVENT

 

We hope you did “Relax and Enjoy” our “High Tea and Straight Talk” as Featured Speaker Terry Reid entertained and challenged Patrons and their guests to ready themselves and fellow Republican Women for the campaign of their lives from May 1, until the first Tuesday in November.

 

Talking, demonstrating and acting out her outline of a “Strategy for Victory” Terry walked among the tables with advice and a program that was fun, exciting and easy to identify with, and which in turn became the perfect complement to the red roses, beautiful serpentine tables filled with an elegant high tea menu, and assorted herbal teas.

 

So that everyone would have a party favor that could also serve as a message reminder for months to come, each guest received a tea bag with a note attached, that read “A woman is like a tea bag; you don’t know her strength until she gets in hot water”.   Our party and our nation as we know it, appear to be in “hot water”.  We can meet the challenge.

 

A tea set for one, from the Biltmore Estate in Ashville, North Carolina was won by Carol Hanle, who drew the winning number.  If you weren’t there, we missed you and hope you will join us at the August Board meeting for a Cocktail Party featuring author and speaker Michael Zak.  Patrons learn, have fun and provide extra support for TFRW and its programs.

 

Please be advised that time and facilities will not permit a Patron’s function during the upcoming State Convention in Houston. ‘Borah is acutely aware of that time and location crunch and reminds us to join together for her campaign reception at the Hilton Americas – Houston hotel.

 

Finally, a huge “THANK YOU” to all who came to the Tea and made it such a success.  Other big“ THANK YOUs” go to Patti Johnson, Belinda Frisk, Rebecca Williamson, Ellen Harrison, Robyn Tepper, and of course TFRW President Toni Anne Dashiell.

 

A special welcome to new or renewing Patrons; Cynthia Bebon, Nancy Boston, Jody Brown, Kate Bush, Barbara Buxton, Ruby Cubley, Lynn Dodson, Barbara Forman,  Cynthia Jenkins, Barbara  Jordan, Audrey LaFleur, Nancy Mayer, Beverly Moore, Marianne Morris, Lilian Norman Keeney,  Glenda Piacenti, Terry Reid, Jeanette Sterner, Liz Tait and Helen Tuck.
