Club Celebrates 30th Anniversary
Arrowhead Republican Women of Arizona wrapped up 2023 by celebrating Hanukkah, Christmas—and 30 Years!
Budget Committee Chair Judi Bourd and Corresponding Secretary Jack Oh opened our December 13 holiday meeting with a beautiful Hanukkah reading.
Our key speaker was former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, founding member, who holds the longest continued club membership. We honored ARW Past Presidents and were fortunate to have three in attendance: Jan Martinson (2004-2005 and 2012), Bonnie Hochberg (2013-2016), and Jan Hermsmeyer (2019-2021).
We reminisced about our achievements over the past two years which included earning the NFRW Diamond Achievement Award, reporting 89,000+ political and campaign hours, and participating in meaningful Armed Services and Caring for America projects.
ARW had a fantastic 2022-2023—Santa even stopped by to tell us himself. ARW is ready to take on 2024!
