Hello Everyone,
     I hope you had an enjoyable summer. I can’t believe it’s almost over.
We start a busy fall season beginning September 11th. Our membership dinner will be held at the Gettysburg Hotel’s Webster Room. Tom Ellis has been invited to speak. We hear so much on TV about the presidential candidates it will be good to hear from a State candidate. We need more good leaders like Attorney General Tom Corbett in our State Government. Tom Ellis has those qualities. Remember new members joining our council that night will receive a free one year membership
       We have received word that Christine Todd Whitman will be at Gettysburg College September 22nd. If you remember she was the Governor of New Jersey and then became Director of Environmental Protection Agency. Don’t hesitate to call me closer to that date if you have an interest in attending.
           September 26th ,27th and 28th our council will host the opening ceremony and lunch for the Pennsylvania Federation of Republican Women’s convention being held at the Gettysburg Hotel. Conventions can be an exciting time and this one in our own backyard affords us an opportunity to see firsthand what is involved. If you can’t attend anything else please give serious consideration to joining us for the opening lunch. We need volunteers for registration and the boutique. If you can and would like to help, please let Betsy or Marcia or myself know your wishes. For additional convention information see the enclosed form.
        In the near future I will be contacting our Apple Harvest volunteers. We will need your help to continue to sell apple bread and cookies to raise funds for our organization. We are so very appreciative for all you can do. With your help we will have another successful year.
      In the midst of the busy fall schedule we have an election. We have a great opportunity to retain Tom Corbett, an excellent Attorney General. Well qualified Republican candidates Chet Beiler for Auditor General and Tom Ellis for Treasurer fill out the state ballot. The Republican Presidential candidate John McCain is asking for your support and your vote. He needs you to purchase his yard signs and bumper stickers. If you can purchase some of these materials call the victory store at 1-866-241-2295 or on line @ www.Johnnymac08.com. The items can be shipped to you or to our John McCain headquarters at ll2 York St. Gettysburg, Pa 17325 for distribution. Volunteers are still needed. If you can serve in that capacity call Betsy Hower at: 528-4504. Please do whatever you can to ensure a John McCain win on November 4th. Pennsylvania remains a pivotal state.
               As you can see, we have much to do. Mark your calendars or better yet, retain the enclosed schedule of event update. Note the January 2009 meeting at Dunlap’s Restaurant will start our new year. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call me.

Sincerely,



Nadine DeVine
ACCRW President

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is ready for a busy political year. Not only is it a presidential election year but also an open seat in the 33rd State Senatorial District and the 193rd State Representative District. Congressman Todd Platts, State Representative Dan Moul, State Attorney General Tom Corbett and District Attorney Shawn Wagner will be seeking reelection. We will be electing State Committee members and convention delegates. I hope I didn’t forget anyone! The candidates will be asking for your help in their campaigns. These candidates will be representing you in the U.S. Congress, the State Senate and the State House of Representatives. Please volunteer as frequently as you are able. No effort is too small.
