Dear GHC family,

We’ve had an eventful summer and now as we step into Fall, we have much to look forward to!

At our May 18th general meeting, we paid tribute to our military and had an honor guard present the colors. Camp Hope’s Executive Director David Maulsby, and, Former RPT Chair Allen West were the featured speakers. Several of you brought veterans as guests. We remembered those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our great country.

In the month of July, GHC hosted three summer luncheons for our club presidents. Your clubs are growing with leaps and bounds! The luncheons were well attended, and gave us an opportunity to get to know each other better, discuss your clubs, and review the year while we look to the future.

We are excited to announce that Texas’ First Lady, Cecilia Abbott, will be the featured speaker for our September 21st meeting! We will also be joined by Harris County Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey, and, Gina Manlove with the ‘Texas Memorial Illumination at San Jacinto’ being planned for November. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us!

In October we will gather at the TFRW convention. You can get details on the convention at https://www.tfrw.org/events/convention. Our final general meeting of the year will be November 9th, and feature our new RPT Chair, Matt Rinaldi, as speaker. We will also collect gift cards for the veterans at Camp Hope. We are all saddened by the overseas situation in Afghanistan. The consequences of last year’s election are being played out before our eyes, and the price is too high. Let’s pray for our troops and all in harms way. Let’s gather strength, work together and pray for our country. May God continue to protect and bless the USA!

Warm Regards,
Sophia Mafrige
GHCFRW President
