The 14th Annual CCRW Reagan Rally went off without a hitch! The event was well attended by elected officials, club members, and die-hard Republicans from Carteret, Craven, and Onslow Counties. Representative Jon Hardister, Representative Celeste Cairns, Senator Norm Sanderson, Hal Weatherman, and Sheriff Asa Buck (to name a few) spent the evening with us.
The Master of Ceremonies, RNC Committeewoman Kyshia Brassington, was a treat, and Keynote Speaker William Federer kept the crowd entertained. Matthew Broughton, SSG, U.S. Army-Retired, led the Salute to the Flag, and Kevin White played America the Beautiful on the bagpipes. CCRW Members honored Former NC Representative Pat McElraft and thanked her for the 16 years she served Carteret County by presenting her with a gift. She took the torch from Jean Preston, and we know her legacy will continue through the work of Rep. Cairns. Can you believe a member of CCRW has served in that seat since 1993!?
Our Silent Auction items gathered interest: from a 7-day vacation in Copper Mountain, Colorado, to Babe Ruth memorabilia. The funds raised go to supporting the club's efforts in keeping Carteret County RED!
