WE HAVE THE 2010 WHITE HOUSE ORNAMENT NOW

The 2010 White House Christmas ornament honors the twenty-fifth president of the United States, William McKinley, and celebrates the role of music in the traditions of the White House. The McKinley administration (1897–1901) is remembered as a time when the nation moved beyond its continental boundaries to become an international power. The American people idolized McKinley during his presidency, so suddenly cut short by an assassin’s bullets six months into his second term.

In celebration of the nation’s patriotic mood as the century turned, the illustrations commissioned1 for the 2010 ornament feature festive, colorful scenes from the annual Army Navy Reception at the White House in 1900. The front face of the ornament depicts members of the United States Marine Band performing on the snow covered North Drive as arriving guests disembark from their carriages. The reverse side of the ornament shows the band playing patriotic airs for President and Mrs. McKinley and their party in the flag bedecked splendor of the East Room. It was in this High Victorian East Room that the McKinleys began the era of “musicales” (receptions with music as the leading feature) at the White House, a tradition that continues to this day

Only $18---would make a great gift for yourself or a friend

Fredericksburg Agricultural Fair July 30th – Aug 8th.
The Dominion Republican Women Club have their table at the fair. They support all three surrounding counties and pass out Congressman Wittman information and raise money for candidates. They could really use help this year at the booth to give those dedicated ladies a break and enjoy the fair. All volunteers who help out with the table are provide a pass for the day.
They would like to have at least two or three at the table at a time. Please contact Kay Jett at kjett07@cox.net if you are able to help.

 

Virginia Federation of Republican Women

has named Heather Stefl Chairman of the Women in Business Committee for the State of Virginia

The committee is to develop a club, state and national directory of our Federated women in business. 

The purpose of this directory is networking  and , if the need arises, an opportunity to do business with one of our members when away from home. It’s also a great way to develop business contacts and a great resource for finding business services. 

Some of us have found that even within our own clubs, we don’t know which business members either own or are involved in a business.

The Committee is responsible for working with local clubs on creating a database/directory of  those women in business throughout the state.

The directory will then be developed into a national directory state by state and club by club.

By networking within our clubs, we will be able to complete our business directory by early spring and have it ready for our meeting in Washington, D.C. next March 2011.
