Terry has been married to Les, a staunch Republican, for 45 years. They...

Thanks to the leadership and hard work of Nancy Scott on finances, reservations and registration;...

Speaking to us will be State Senator, Joan Huffman and State Representative, Sarah Davis. These two dynamic women will provide an overview of the session and recap the “winners” and “losers” of sponsored bills with an emphasis on the roles they played in...

This may be painful to watch but I think it is important to remember how this event impacted our Country. Please pray for them and for the victims of the attack of our Consulate and CIA Annex in Benghazi that also occurred on this date last year. May God Bless America,
