We will meet next on May 8 at 12:00 p.m. in the dining room of the Scottish Rite Temple, 4090 Commercial Street SE, Salem. Come meet your local candidates and find out how you can take part in a Republican victory in November. We will get some insight into the measures on your May ballot as well as a preview of the initiative petitions we are likely to encounter on the November ballot.
"It came to me while I was having dinner with Doris Day. No, not that Doris Day. The Doris Day who is married to Col. Bud Day, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, fighter pilot, Vietnam POW and roommate of John McCain at the Hanoi Hilton." Cut and paste http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120951606847454685.html into your browser for the full article from the Wall Street Journal, April 30, 2008, "Getting to Know John McCain" by Karl Rove.
This month's book is Infidel by Ayaan Hirst Ali. It is the real-life story of the Somali-born Dutch parliamentarian who was driven into hiding when the film-maker Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered by Islamic terrorists for collaborating with her on a documentary about the plight of Muslim women.
Join us Tuesday, May 27, 7:00 p.m., at Ande Hoffman's home, 670 Snead Drive North, Keizer for a fun time of discussion, dessert and coffee.
These are hours of volunteering (non-paid) for the Republican Party, our Republican candidates, and our Federation of Republican Women. Some great examples of hours you can count are campaign work done at home like mailings, posters, or phone calls. You can count time spent as a county, state, or national party committee member, political work at club meetings, running for office, or working at the HQ of the Party or candidate volunteering your time. Remember to keep track. Every hour you volunteer helps our club.
Get ready for the Oregon Federation of Republican Women's Day at the Capitol on Friday, May 16. Come learn valuable campaign skills, take a tour of our beautiful Capitol Building, and enjoy lunch with Republican ladies from across the state. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Reserve a spot for $15 by mailing your check to Eleanor Boese, PO Box 5910, Salem, Oregon 97304. Lunch and morning refreshments included.

She is using her role as First Lady to encourage people to share the magic of reading with children, to enourage Americans to pursue a teaching career and showcase early childhood development initiatives that have been proven successful.
Grants from the Laura Bush Foundation will be made to school libraries across the country to purchase books. Money to fund these grants will be raised by the Leadership Council of the Laura Bush Foundation.
