BRINGING DORCHESTER TO JACKSON COUNTY LUNCHEON

At the April 14th Luncheon JCRW had a panel with some of the JCRW membership that attended Dorchester Conference. These members shared some of the issues that were at the conference. Education & Earmarks will be the theme. They presented some of the Education Bills that will be voted on in Salem this term and the controversy over Earmarks which has been on the Political Stage over the past several years. The Members & Guests who attended the Luncheon had the opportunity to interact and state their opinions.

18 members of JCRW attended Dorchester Conference where Republicans and Conservatives from all over the state meet for 2 days and discuss issues that effect the citizens of our State. US Rep. Greg Walden & Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy were Keynote Speakers—They are pictured below with JCRW Members & Associate Members that attended the conference .

WOW!! A Rousing Success.... We never thought we could top last year but we did. The Golf Club was a very beautiful setting. The food was good. The decorations were fabulous thanks to Mike & Mette McDermott and their wonderful team. The wine flowed thanks to our own Bartender Past President Sheila Foy. The silent auction contained 35 items including baskets done by our own members. You can see some of them to the right with Member Mary April who set them up at the Event. Our Auctioneer was C.W. Smith who did a wonderful job of getting lots of cash for the 10 items in our Auction, helped by his Able Assistant—our Ways & Means Chair Leanne Wood...who also did a splendid job putting this event together.
We had lots of dignitaries including GOP Chair Allen Alley, House Speaker Bruce Hanna, State Senators Jason Atkinson & Doug Whitsett, Reps. Sal Esquivel, Mike McClane, Matt Wingard, Wally Hicks, County Commissioner C.W. Smith & John Rachor. Former State Rep Jerry Barnes, Jim Kuntz, Medford City Councilman, Jonathan Bilden, Eagle Point City Councilman, Donna Cain, National Committee Chairwomen; Greg Leo, ORP Chief of Staff; The entire staff of Greg Walden’s Office, John Howard, Troy Ferguson and of course Rob Patridge, Greg’s District Director and General Council and Candidate for District Attorney Jackson County; JCRCC Chair Doug Breidenthal and Vice Chair Jack Adkins. And to top it off Radio Personalities—Bill Meyer of the KMED Weekly Morning Show 6AM-9AM “Bill Meyer Show” and Member Dianne Linderman of the “Everything that Matters” Sunday Morning show on KMED 10AM-Noon. Whew!! What a line up……. And to Thank everyone, well we would need 2 pages of copy…Instead let us just Thank every Member and Associate Member. Because everyone worked for this event—Either they donated, took on a job or were at the event. THANK YOU Each and Every One of You…...
Now to the nitty–gritty—We made money to fund our Education Programs for next year. We don’t have all the totals in and won’t for a few more days—However, we topped last year by quite a lot of dollars—So Yes, It Was a Rousing Success...
