BWRC December Meeting

---

It’s time to celebrate Republican election victories and a wonderful year of Belleair Women’s Republican Club activism! So, break out your holiday finery, saddle up the sleigh and dash on over to the Belleair Women’s Republican Club holiday luncheon on Friday, December 6. The event will provide a fun and festive start to the holiday season and an opportunity to make merry with BWRC friends.

The usual 50/50 and Belleair County Club Brunch raffles will be temporarily replaced at the BWRC December luncheon with other special delights, including holiday music, beautiful décor and table favors.  Lifesize, standup cutouts of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will be on hand allowing for photo ops with the club’s photographer on hand to take your picture.

In order to not forget the true spirit of the holiday season, gifts to benefit others will be collected. As has been the tradition for several years, the recipient of BWRC’s holiday charitable collection will be Hero to a Child Foundation (formerly called Guardian ad Litem Foundation). Voluntary donations of cash, checks made out to Hero to a Child Foundation or gift cards to retailers such as Amazon, Target and Walmart or to fast food outlets like Taco Bell, McDonalds, Burger King, Chik-fil-A or the like will be used to provide some Christmas joy for foster care “late shelter” children who have been removed from their homes during the stressful holiday season too late for foster parents to plan and purchase Christmas gifts. BWRC’s collection will help assure there are presents under the tree for these kids who are spending the holidays with strangers and are no doubt lonely, scared and sad.

Those not attending the BWRC December luncheon who want to participate in BWRC’s effort to assist Hero to a Child late shelter children may mail checks made out to Hero to a Child Foundation and/or gift cards to former club president Norma Stalions at 4466 Worthington Court, Palm Harbor, FL 34685. These donations must be mailed by December 1 in order to reach the charity in time to be used to support the late shelter children effort.

Also in keeping with the true holiday spirit, gifts will be presented to staff members of Belleair Country Club at the December luncheon on behalf of the BWRC membership to thank them for the exceptional service they have provided over the course of the year.

The December 6 BWRC luncheon will take place at Belleair Country Club located at 1 Country Club Lane, Belleair. Check-in begins at 11:30 am, with lunch served starting at noon. The cost to attend is $37 per person. Lunch reservations and payment are due by Thursday, November 21. Checks made out to BWRC should be mailed to BWRC at P.O. Box 1117, 850 E. Lime St., Tarpon Springs, FL 34688.
