CCWRC MEMBERS, GUESTS AND DIGNITARIES WELCOME ALL THEIR NEW MEMBERS DURING A SUCCESSFUL AND FUN MEMBERSHIP TEA

Former Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and Speaker-designate for the 106th Congress, special guest Bob Livingston sparked excitement and questions among the more than 40 members and guests attending the CCWRC Membership Tea on May 22nd.

Over 10 new members joined their fellow Republican members in an enthusiastic desire to work together for a Republican victory in 2012. The newly appointed Membership Chair, Jeannette Cotter, and club members intermingled with new members encouraging participation in future various club and political events so all work together for a successful infusion of Republican ideals throughout America.

CCWRC HONORS CAREGIVERS OF WOUNDED SOLDIERS AT SPECIAL LUNCHEON

To honor and thank caregivers of some of our wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Hospital and Bethesda Naval Hospital, a special luncheon was recently held at the home of Jayne Plank in Kensington. Among CCWRC many community interests, the Caring for America project, under the leadership of Carol Bowis, proposed the idea of partnering with The Yellow Ribbon Fund to invite caretakers to a luncheon, providing them a break from their usual stressed daily lives caring for their loved ones who have multiple war injuries.

Donations from individual members and friends, as well as local merchants, provided the funds for gift bags given to each caregiver to take home. Along with special gifts, donations to buy Giant Food gift cards were included in each bag. Caretakers shared their own personal stories of grief and healing along with hope and pride. Chevy Chase club members gained a deeper understanding and compassion for the difficulties of our military families.

For more information call Carol Bowis @ 301-229-1121 or email cbowis@verizon.net
