Over the past few years we have been quite successful in getting our endorsed candidates elected and putting out information to the broader universe of registered Republicans who in local races the local party has interviewed and endorsed.  At the next meeting we will discuss in a separate business meeting fundraising ideas and how we would like to best support the candidates we endorsed at the last meeting given the costs associated with certain campaign expenses versus where the club banking account currently stands and what we are likely to need for next year's elections.  Please come with ideas to raise more funds for the club so we can be more active and successful in electing Republican candidates to public office.  As Club President, I along with Ways & Means Chair Roger Garrett and Treasurer Ken Husting will lead or significantly contribute to these two discussions.

 

As a fundraising opportunity, the Cerritos Republican Club has been given tickets to sell for Republican Roundup Western BBQ in La Canada on October 10th, between 2 to 6 PM.  Each ticket costs $25, and the club receives back $5 per ticket sold. Contact myself at 562-743-1855 on club Treasurer Ken Husting at 562-547-6477 if you would like to buy one or more tickets for the event.

 

On the club website www.cerritos-republican.org we have under Past Club Events, excerpts from the most recent Cerritos Republican Club meeting where we asked the candidates who could attend various questions.  ABC School Board candidate and club member David Shaffer and Cerritos College Trustee Bob Epple both responded to our invites telling us they could not make it for that evening, we received no response Cerritos College Candidate from Tom Chavez. Our Communications Chair Jim Yee has does a tremendous job in taping and then separating out the answers to the questions so that if you do not have time to go through the entire candidate forum , you can listen and see how candidates running for a similar office answered the same question(s).

 

Last, the Cerritos Republican Club Board has decided that we will have a canned food and dry non-perishable box food drive for the Long Beach Mission at the November Meeting.  At the December Dinner we plan to collect new unwrapped toys for a charity that we will determine probably in October or early November. Both of these actions are not just for public relations, but are one way where we can put our policy of private charity and our smaller government values to work in our local community.

 

Yours truly,

Matt Kauble,

President of the Cerritos Republican Club
