Starting at 10:15 that morning, we are delighted to honor Germantown’s retiring mayor, Sharon Goldsworthy, for her many years of service to her community. Sharon is a longtime member of Shelby County Republican Women’s Club and is the longest serving mayor in the metropolitan area. The mayors of Shelby County, Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Lakeland and Millington have been invited to make brief remarks. Several of them have worked together over the years with Mayor Goldsworthy on issues of mutual interest, especially schools and education. In addition, Republican elected officials have been invited to attend—and, of course, all SCRWC members and associate members are invited, indeed encouraged, to attend. There will be a short program, and refreshments of cake and assorted beverages will follow. All attendees will be guests of the club; there will be no charge for the reception. As a special treat, the president of the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women, Linda Buckles, will be present to also pay tribute to Mayor Goldsworthy. She will be traveling from her home in Kingsport TN to join us and we are grateful that she will make that long trip to be with us. President Linda will be the guest speaker of the regular meeting of the club, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. She will update us about what is happening with the Tennessee federation and will install the SCRWC officers for the year 2015, who were elected at the October meeting. Linda serves as TN GOP State Executive Committeewoman on the Bylaws and Administrative Committees and the Sullivan County Republican Party Executive Board. She served three terms as president of Greater Kingsport Republican Women’s Club, two terms as TFRW Area 1 vice president, chairman of the TFRW Convention, logistics chairman for many major Republican events, chairman of Sullivan County Republican Headquarters, many years as NFRW Regent, on the NFRW Membership Committee, and participated in the last three RNC Conventions. She is also very active in local church, school, medical, and programs for youth and children. Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy President’s Corner We were truly blessed to have State Senator Brian Kelsey at our last meeting. He explained the four amendments on the ballot... very helpful to our members. Thanks Brian for helping us make educated decisions. Our other guest speakers were Mike Palazzolo and George Brogdon, both candidates for Germantown Mayor. They were great speakers and we were happy to have an opportunity to get to know them better. In November we are having a reception for Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy who has been Germantown’s Mayor for twenty years. We are fortunate to have had her outstanding leadership all this time. TFRW President Linda Buckles will be our special guest and has agreed to swear in our 2015 slate of officers for our club. Everyone... Please get out and vote! This is a very important election! Remind family, friends, in-laws and outlaws to vote! See you all at the November meeting!
