At Saturday March 18th's FHRC meeting Larry Meyers, retired business executive and well known activist was named the 24th recipient of the Club's "Republican of the Year" award. Larry never seeks out nor does his volunteer work to gain accolades, the ROTY recognition was a total surprise to him. He thought he was on the program that morning speaking on some emerging issues, which later in the program he did, but the speaking opportunity was dangled in front of him in order to guarantee he would show up. Setting the stage for announcing the winner were last year's co-Republicans of the Year, Crystal Cavanaugh and Nancy Plencner who teased the audience into guessing who the ecipient might be: "if you want someone in your Fox Hole who you can depend on, a person who can whip out a pen and write some copy that would set your hair on fire, if you are looking for a volunteer who will take on a newspaper, START A WAR.....and actually win!! then you are going to love this recipient." Nancy Plencner "This person is dedicated to maintaining our small Town charm and the quality of life here that many may take for granted. He keeps his finger on the pulse of issues as they are brewing. He does research and sends out communications to groups of citizens that he calls The Army.
He donated countless hours of putting up and taking down political signs in the wee hours of the morning and night to help all of us to Reclaim Our Town". Crystal Cavanaugh.
