President’s Voice – October 2024
Hello BARW!
Let me begin this message with a small prayer.
Lord, I ask that you comfort those families that have been so deeply affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. As these families begin to process the destruction and piece their lives back together, I pray you will provide them the strength and courage they will need. Amen
WOW, our 31st BARW Lincoln Dinner was a great success! Congratulations to Pat Adams as our 2024 Volunteer of Year. We are so blessed to have Pat on our board and team. Her contributions are immeasurable. It was so lovely to see many familiar faces and to see so many new ones! We appreciate your continued support of BARW. We look forward to seeing you at the next one.
We have another way you can help – Home – Early Vote Action. EVA has a strict purpose – register Republican voters and get them committed to vote early, absentee, by mail, or on Election Day – by any means necessary! Founder is Scott Pressler. If you have not heard of Scott, come acquainted with him. I met Scott many years ago when BARW had a local campaign office as he would lead the charge to getting our local Republican leaders and candidates elected. He has come a long way and has made tremendous impacts across the country.
Early voting is fast approaching:
- Early Vote Centers will be open from Monday, October 21– Friday, November 1
- Vote Centers will accept voters from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 5.
- Visit our “What’s on my Ballot?” page and enter your name or address to see all the contests and candidates you are eligible to vote on!
- The deadline to apply for a mail ballot is October 25. Click here for the application. Please fill it out, print it, and mail it to our office before the deadline.
