founding in 2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, On May 6, 1999, 10 women from the county met in the | ||

Women; and | ||
WHEREAS, The organization received acceptance from the | ||

the group launched its Taste of East Texas fund-raiser, which has | ||
become a highly popular annual event; and | ||

County has benefited from the dedicated leadership of a number of | ||
able presidents, and this tradition continues today under the | ||
guidance of current president Sharon Bradford of Alba; and | ||
WHEREAS, The members of the Republican Women of Wood County | ||
have worked tirelessly for two decades to advance the important | ||
goals of the Republican Party, and it is truly a pleasure to | ||

founding of the Republican Women of Wood County and extend to its | ||
members sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
