SOCIAL MEDIA
Social Media/Video Project
I would like us to share as a club why we are Republican. If you would like to be involved in this project, please make a short video as to why you are Republican and send it to our Social Media Chair, Kathy Nance (bknance@att.net), by uploading it to Google Drive at the link below. Please state your name and your email and/or telephone number at the beginning of the video so I can contact you if necessary. These videos will be combined to make one video and posted on our facebook page. I have some examples below as to what I have in mind. All videos are due by September 1, 2026.
Upload your video to https://tinyurl.com/WhyIAmRepublican (see instructions at the link). Note that you must be signed into Google to add a file (with your Android phone or gmail account login). If you don’t have a Google account, email Kathy and we’ll find an alternate way to do this (videos are typically too large for email).
Thank You…

TEXAS GOP STATE CONVENTION
June 11 – 13, 2026
Texas GOP State Convention in Houston, Texas
Diana Richards, Legislative Chair extraordinaire,
recently reminded me how important it is for all of us
to focus on the Texas GOP State Convention.
Mark Russell is appointed by the SREC (State Republican Executive Committee) to be the SD30 representative on the
Party Organization Committee for the Convention…
and…
Diana Richards is appointed by the SREC to represent SD30
on the Platform Committee.
That gives our GCRW a true sense of how important it is that
we all suit up, show up, and speak up at Convention!
