next to last person appears to be Russ Dupwe - who teaches
together with Chad Moseley at Westside. The fellow at the
far end is Jim Cline (my husband) who later led us in the
Pledge of Allegiance.

James (Jim) Cline, retired Navy, lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Loretta Corbett read the 4 stanza of the Star Spangled Banner then
lead us in the singing of the 1st stanza.
For those of you who are not acquainted with the 4 stanzas of
our National Anthem, I suggest you go to:

You might like to note the words:
"And this be our motto--"In God is our trust."
Lloyd Clark read an article on prayer and led us in the blessing.
Several dignitaries from our GOP party were in attendance as
were others in the audience who are candidates for various
offices about the State. Many candidates who were unable to attend
yet sent their representatives to the event. Those who wished to say
a few words about the status of our party or how the events in
November may unfold to effect our Nation and particularly our
State, or anyone who wished to speak for a candidate or for
themselves were invited by Chad to say a few words.

Our own Loretta Corbett entertained us with a few selections
from oldies but goodies by Patsy Cline.
Loretta had a grand time! The audience not only enjoyed the songs
but also enjoyed the banter between Loretta, Larry and Chad.
We especially wish to thank our key-note speaker of the evening,
Dave Elswick, who is from KARN Radio in Little Rock. He is one
of the top conservative talk-radio host in the country and is in great
demand for speaking engagements. His thoughts reflect much of
what we conservatives here in District 73 believe and dread.
Dave painted a not-too-optimistic outlook for the future of our
Nation unless we are willing to step up and vote the liberals out.

Arkansas is required by law to balance our budget. Yet, with Obama
and our liberal Congress overspending, Arkansas is asked to repay
(according to Americans for Prosperity) over $30o million to the
Federal Government for what they consider a "loan"for enhanced
unemployment payments to recipients. The State cannot balance
the budget with that amount being owed to the Government.
Questions and answers . . .
See a brief history for Dave on the website in a post previous to this post.

Winding up the evening . . .
Loretta getting ready to pick ticket numbers for Door
Prizes. Silent Auction winners were announced afterwards.
Loretta did a swell job by getting private parties and
merchants to donate for the Silent Auction and Door Prizes.
I don't know who donated the door prize I won, yet,
I received a really nice wind chime.
Our fearless leader and his wife, Chad and Kim Moseley, are seated
on the far side of the table to your left.
Thanks be to the ones who worked so hard to put this event together.
Especially the ladies, who had charge of getting everything coordinated,
food, decoration (with the mens help) and then the clean-up afterwards.
Y'all did a grand job!
I must say, if you were unable to attend the event, you missed out on
good food, good conversation and a grand time getting to know who
may eventually become members running your local Committee, or
Representatives in our State House or on "The Hill" in Washington D.C.
Before you vote in November, know who you are voting for!!
