Cheryl Dalton, PresidentGHCFRW President Message: This has been such a busy summer in so many ways as we prepare for the Presidential Election in November. The RNC Convention came and went and was very successful in Cleveland, Ohio. Thank you to those of you who were delegates and alternates to the convention for representing our great state! Now Texas is ready for the fight of the century to help elect our nominee Donald J. Trump as President of the USA and all of our fabulous candidates down the ballot. We are all pleased to hear that Commissioner George P. Bush is Chairman of Victory 2016 and is solidly behind Donald Trump, ready to make sure he becomes our next President.

In August, Greater Houston Council hosted Unite to Win for TFRW, Abbott University, Texas Republican County Chairman’s Association, and the Republican Party of Texas to train activists in how to meet voters on all levels and GOTV. Drew McCall from Abbott University conducted a Powerpoint Presentation on many topics including how to use Social Media. Other speakers were Theresa Kosmoski, President TFRW, Josh Jones and Kayla Hensley from the Trump Campaign, and County Chairs, Mike Gibson and Paul Simpson. We had a large crowd of around 100 attendees who said how much they learned and this motivated them to get involved and start working for the election.

September 20, 2016, Greater Houston Council is pleased to have the Honorable Tom DeLay as our featured speaker for our general meeting for all Member Clubs and their members and guests. Also on the program will be the Honorable Corbett Parker who will teach us how we all can use our Social Media for the benefit of the election to reach more voters. Bianca Gracia, co-founder of a grassroots effort of Hispanics for Trump will also speak and tell us why they support Donald Trump and how we can be involved with them. Our meeting focuses on the election and what each one of us can do in our small way to affect the outcome in November. Be sure not to miss this outstanding program we have planned for you.
