The presentation of the 2007 Ele’ Awards carries on a tradition begun by President Claire Bawcom in 1992 to recognize those RWWC members who worked so diligently in Republican causes during the past year. I am honored to be able to carry on this great tradition.

 |
| This year’s event was beautifully organized by Phyllis Streiff and Rita Jorgenson and graciously hosted by Monty and Shalia Lankford. The first awards went to my Board of Directors for going “above and beyond” their job title to make sure RWWC ran efficiently. Recipients were Jean Barwick, Barbara Steinhouser, Janet Slothower, Karen Keitzman, Suzanne Loperfido, Becky Pair, Sherry Kelly, Cynthia McClard, Brenda Meyers, Toni Albani, Bev Burger, Janet McKeown, Carole Robinson, Phyllis Streiff, Mayme Ryan, Janie Yeager, Lila Napolitano, Bunny Harper, Carole Ferrell and Ona Powers. |

Ele’ Awards were presented for outstanding accomplishment to Janie Yeager, Barbara Steinhouser and Janet Slothower.
Kim Helper was presented the Volunteer of the Year Award in appreciation of her outstanding achievement in successfully chairing our Harvest Celebration. She is enthusiastic, dependable, has a great way of organizing and encouraging people to do their best while also having a good time. Congratulations to Kim on her appointment as District Attorney General.
The Apple of our Eye Award recognizes a Republican activist who has held various office in RWWC and also been active in politics at the county level. It was presented to Cynthia McClard, who has helped us all to become more educated about legislative issues as the 2007 Chair of the Legislative Committee.
The Eagle Award was introduced last year to recognize and honor a Republican woman who has distinguished herself by

|
|
demonstrating patriotism, which soars above the commonplace. The only possible recipient for this year’s Eagle Award was Becky Pair in appreciation of her work on the Memorial Day celebration and the Wreathes Across America event.
Brenda Meyers received the Mary Cawthon Award. It was the first award given by RWWC and is highly treasured. The recipient must have been a member for 5 years, been active in the club activities and in campaigns on federal, state and local levels. Brenda stays out of the spotlight, but has been instrumental in the
|
 |
success of RWWC for many years. When I came to my first RWWC meeting she was the only person I knew and to me SHE WAS RWWC!
The Legacy Award was presented to Past President Suzanne Loperfido in recognition and appreciation of the enthusiasm she brought to the Presidency as she brought RWWC to a record high membership and for her service as Vice President of Area 6-C.
After the Ele’ Awards were concluded, our Legislative delegation represented by Senator Jack Johnson and Representative Charles |

Sargent, presented me with a beautifully framed Resolution passed by the General Assembly to honor the memory of my husband, District Attorney General Ron Davis. Senator Johnson read the Resolution to the assembled guests and they responded with a standing ovation. My heart was filled to overflowing with gratitude and appreciation for this honor and Ron would have been so pleased. I am so grateful to each and every one of you for all the love and support you have shown to both Ron and me during his illness and since his death. A special thank you to President Becky Pair for the beautiful gift she present me in recognition of my Presidency of RWWC. As I told her, I had looked forward to the Ele’ Awards as a time to recognize those who had done so much for RWWC, but I got much more than I gave. Thank you all for allowing me to be your President. It is a memory I will always treasure.
