Office hopefuls to be at next Edmond GOP Women’s club meeting

By Tonya Coffman

Campaign season is here and the Edmond Republican Womens Club is pleased to announce that we will be inviting the Republican candidates who have announced for office to be our guest speakers over the next few months. For the month of September we have invited the people who have announced their candidacy for the office of Governor of the State of Oklahoma. At this time, Charles McCall, Jake Merrick, Leisa Mitchell Haynes and Mike Mazzei have accepted the invitationto speak.

State Attorney General, Gentner Drummond, had a scheduling conflict and will be scheduled at a later date. Each candidate will be given an allotted time to speak and then the floor will be open for questions. This meeting will be Monday, September 15th.

The announced Republican candidates for Oklahoma State Lt. Governor will be invited to speak at our meeting in October.

ERWC will be joining other Republican Womens Clubs in the area at the Oklahoma State Fair beginning on September 11th. If you have never registered to vote, we will be providing voter registration forms and huge amounts of Republican Party items.

On November 10th, ERWC is planning a fundraiser with the title "Lucky Elephant March to Mid-Terms Game Night". For this first event the

game will be Bunco. Start time is 6:00 pm and the location is New Covenant Church, 2700 S. Blvd., Edmond. Participants will have an opportunity to win a 50/50 drawing and door prizes will be given away during the evening. Our meeting location is in the Meindes/Gaylord Center of Oklahoma Christian University, 2501 E Memorial Rd., Edmond, OK. 73013. Doors open at 11:15 a.m., with the buffet lunch served at 11:30 and the meeting beginning at 11:45 a.m. Cost of the lunch and meeting is $23.00 and meeting only $5.00.
