President's Message - Kathy Schulte |

Happy July Republican Women of Prescott, Associates and Students,
Wishing you a wonderful, safe celebration of America’s July 4 independence Day! It enables us to display our respect for the freedom fighters and keep our spirit of patriotism alive. Our history is so rich that it’s enlightening to go back and reread how the United States’ Declaration of Independence originated.
Last week, the United States Senate and House of Representatives created a new Federal holiday, Juneteenth. We Republicans must remember along with reminding our friends, the circumstances surrounding Juneteenth. Juneteenth only exists because on June 19, 1865, a white Union General Gordon Granger traveled to Galveston, Texas to inform the slaves that they were FREE! The racist, southern Democrat masters conveniently forgot to tell the slaves about the Emancipation Proclamation that was signed into LAW by Republican President Abraham Lincoln more than 2 years earlier on January 1, 1863.
Democrats certainly know how to change history! Yet, we have to remind ourselves that they want everyone to forget about America’s history and how America became the “Land of the FREE”.
I want to thank our Mayoral and City Council candidates for attending the RWOP forum at our June 15th luncheon. It was a very informative forum. Ballots for the City of Prescott will be arriving soon. I encourage each of you to be an informed and educated voter. Every candidate has a website.
Also, thank you to Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee, and Former Arizona Supreme Court Justice, Judge Andrew Gould for sharing their exciting news. Treasurer Yee is a gubernatorial candidate for the Great State of Arizona, and Judge Gould is running for Attorney General.
Congratulations to them both! We offer them Best Wishes in their respective races. In closing, it was such an honor to recognize our First Responders and the 19-Granite Mountain Hotshots. We honored the Hotshots with 19 seconds of silence. Thank you to Honor Guard Commander Jeremiah King for ringing the bell 19 times. It was riveting and extremely emotional.
Arizona Federated Republican Women (AzFRW) came to Prescott last month. Our Region V Director, Elsie Tyree, will provide updates during the July 13 business/luncheon meeting.
We hope that each and everyone of you can join RWOP’S participation in the July 3 Prescott Frontier’s Day Parade. It’s so much fun! Please join us. Contact Elsie Tyree for further details at: tyree200@msn.com
An honor to serve YOU,
Kathy Schulte, President

The 2021 RWOP Bylaws: Support our Republicans
Candidates during the Primary!
|
|
As a strong and supportive Federated organization, RWOP is always working to identify and elect ONLY Republican candidates at the local, state and national levels. Our Bylaws are in compliance with this important goal. As valued members of our club, we ask that all members align with this essential concept which supports our party. If members are not in agreement they are required to give up their membership. This requirement aligns with the State and National Federated Bylaws as well. The most current Bylaws can be found in your 2021 Directory.
|
|
Here are the RWOP Bylaws which apply:
Article II, Section 2(C):
Individual members may support any Republican Candidate of their choice.
|
|
Article VII, Section 2(G) states:
If a member is in violation of the Bylaws, the President shall notify the member of the specific bylaw violation(s). The Executive Committee may investigate, accept a written response to the violation and make a decision to accept or deny membership. If the violation is confirmed and the member continues with the violation after they have been notified, the Board of Directors may vote at a regular or special meeting to expel that member for one (1) year beginning when the member is notified of the expulsion. The President shall send a certified letter within three (3) days advising the member of the result of the vote.
As a member of RWOP, please support only Republicans to ensure that our values are upheld and our Party is successful!

JULY CHARITY OF THE MONTH

Our charity of the month for July is Yavapai Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
Big Brothers/Big Sisters is northern Arizona’s premier mentoring program and over the past 50 years they have matched more than 11,000 children to qualified volunteer mentors in our community.
Executive Director Erin Mabery tells us that a Big Brother, Sister, Couple or Family typically spends 8-10 hours per month with a Little Brother or Sister engaging in popular activities such as hiking, biking, library and museum visits, sports, cooking, crafting, fishing and more.
In addition, school-based matches are available during the school year where “Bigs” can visit with “Littles” once a week for lunch, recess or a tutoring session.
Please consider becoming a volunteer mentor as there are currently more than 200 children waiting for a Big Brother or Sister.
BB/BS is an Arizona State Tax Credit-eligible nonprofit and your generous donation will ensure that it can continue to inspire our local children to a brighter future.

As we’ve watched and heard so much negativity across the country, sometimes it’s nice to sit back and think of the positive things.
One such positive that we have in our Prescott community is the celebration of July 4th. The week of July 4th is always the ‘kick-off’ of many different events that spotlight the patriotism and uniqueness of our community.
|
|
We have the week of the ‘World’s Oldest Rodeo’ to kick-off the week. According to its website, it was July 4, 1888 which became the birthday of professional rodeo when a group of merchants and businessmen organized the first ‘cowboy tournament’ and offered cash prices. The rest, as they say, is history.
Every year when Prescott hosts the rodeo, people come from all over the country to either compete or just to enjoy the festivities. And, even those who don’t enjoy watching the rodeo itself, there are many other festivities to enjoy. There is the Prescott Frontier Days parade on July 3rd. It is the second largest parade in Arizona, second only to the Fiesta Bowl parade.
If you like to ‘kick up your heels’, there is the Rodeo Dance on July 1, 2 and 3rd; and a ‘Happy Hearts Rodeo’ for exceptional children; the Kiwanis Kiddie Parade; an Arts & Crafts Show on the Square; and Cowboy Church.
If the rodeo is your main event, there is lots to enjoy. The rodeo kicks off with the ‘Main Event’, with over 70 mounted riders entering the arena. The grand entry is used to introduce competitors, officials and sponsors and is a tradition that goes back to 1920. Then there is the bareback riding, team roping, barrel racing, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, etc. – too many events to mention.
So, while the controversies and negativity reign throughout the rest of the country, let those of us who live in Prescott sit back and enjoy the patriotic festivities brought to us by the “World’s Oldest Rodeo’ because it represents what’s good about our country.
