Robert Poimbeauf and Rachel Heurtevant (Vice President) contributing to the new Republican Club Scholarship Fund. Shown also are Club President Rita Poimbeauf and Scholarship Chairman Russell Cain.

The Calhoun County Republican Club began the new year with an engaging talk from Michael Quill Sullivan, President of Empower Texans and Texans for Fiscal Responsibility. He infused his bad news of our government spending our tax dollar in ludicrous ways with light-hearted fun, so those in attendance did not come away disheartened.

At the January meeting, a scholarship fund was established. Russell Cain graciously accepted the position of chair and will be forming a scholarship committee.

The Club will meet once again on Monday, February 3 at 6:00 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church in Port Lavaca. The speaker will be Jonathon Saenz, an attorney in Austin and President of Texas Values. An expert in his field, expect Mr. Saenz to present much useful information to the Club.

A dinner is held at 5:00 p.m. before each meeting for all those who wish to participate. Delicious meals are served at a cost of only $5 per person. Please RSVP for the dinner to 552-6080.

For more information, please contact Rita Poimbeauf, Club President, at 552-6080, rpoimbeauf@msn.com, or check out the Calhoun County Republican Club Facebook page.
