3 Patt's Perspective: A very special thank you to all who attended the August 28 th Meeting I had a wonderful time doing the presentation at our August meeting on Leaders, Leadership and Communications. Thanks for your feedback and kind positive comments. John Quincy Adams said, If your actions inspire others to dream more, do more and become more, you are a leader. Would love to hear how you are using what you learned :-) Caring for America In August 2017 YCRW member Jill Martin, pictured on the right, presented a check to the Food Bank through the generosity of YCRW members. At our monthly meetings, YCRW collects donations either monetary or canned and dried products for the food bank. Thanks to all members and keep the donations coming! How to help our Federation sisters (and brothers) of Texas: NFRW s Help Texas Thanks to NFRW for highlighting this issue and arranging an opportunity to do our part. NFRW contacted the Texas Federation of Republican Women (TFRW) for their guidance on how best to help. TFRW recommended gift cards from Wal-Mart, Home Depot or Lowes. YCRW will collect gift cards at our monthly meetings and pass them on to TFRW. You may also make a monetary donation at the monthly meeting to the designated YCRW volunteer who will purchase gift cards to send to TFRW.

5 Message from the YCRW Webmaster Well another month has flown by and the ycrw.us Webmaster is still pecking away each day. LIKE WINE? YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN A BOTTLE! Fun labeled bottles from the Daily Caller Wine Club selection, LES DEPLORABLES The Webmaster will feature the winner s selection on the GOP Women Trailblazers page. We will present your bottle of wine at the next YCRW Scheduled Meeting. The contest will run until the bottles are won or there are no nomination submissions from members. How about nominating an AZ Republican woman trailblazer? Simply send your nominee to webmaster@ycrw.us with a small quote from you stating why your nominee has inspired you. The Webmaster will take it from there. August Winner! The winner of the August submission was Myrna Lieberman who nominated Kelly Ann Conway. Congrats Myrna and enjoy your bottle of wine! Myrna s Feedback after sharing her win with friends The Deplorable Wine was a hit at a dinner party. As soon as I walked in the door, I showed the wine and this immediately broke the ice. We talked about the YCRW contest about trailblazing women in the GOP. All the guests were Trump supporters and we enjoyed the wine very much. Drinking.it was just perfect for this gathering! Thank you again Patricia for helping to make this a memorable evening.
