Big Hat Luncheon
June 10, 2023

In honor of Belmont Day, the Ellis County Republican Women held a Big Hat Luncheon for members. Janice Barlow, President of Navarro County Republican Women also joined us.  We met at Daniel's Scratch Kitchen in Ennis. The service was great (thank you Grace), and the food was so good.  Thank you to all that were able to attend. We had a great time visiting with like minded patriots.
The Ellis County Republican Women Annual Lincoln Day Reception
April 5, 2023​

​The Ellis County Republican Women are happy to announce their 2023 Lincoln Day Reception was an awesome success and fun was had by all. Our goal was to raise $10,000 and we surpassed it by raising $12,155. Thanks to our wonderful sponsors and the hard work by the members of the ECRW selling tickets and working the auction.

The ECRW sincerely thank our sponsors: Congressman Jake Ellzey, Senator Brian Birdwell, Senator Bob Hall, Cathy Gillespie, County Commissioner Lane Grayson, Ellis County Tax Collector Richard Rozier, Former Rep. Jim Pitts, Gov. Abbott, John Bielamowicz, Dan and Cathy Altman, Tommie Worthy, Vickie Blair, and Joe and Teressa Aguilar. We added an auction to our event this year which raised $2,155. Many thanks to all the people who donated items to our silent auction.

The VIP Reception was held in the Cowboy Room featuring a photo op with Glen Hegar, Texas State Comptroller. The reception was held in the backyard of Teresa and Joe Aguilar under a tent and spilled over to the patio. Thank you, Paula Anz, for the tables, chairs and linens. We were entertained by the TwoFold Band. God blessed us with beautiful weather for a very pleasant evening. A certain former congressman who has attended fundraisers all over the United States remarked that the reception was a lot of fun and very professional. The food of course was wonderful. What do you expect from Cindy Burch and the Dove’s Nest.

ECRW President Beverly Gatlin, County Commissioner Lane Grayson and 1st Vice President Melody Allen did an excellent job presenting the program. Thank you, Chris Morris and Maurice Osborn, for stepping up to represent Senator Bob Hall and Representative Brian Harrison.
Glenn Hegar was our keynote speaker. He had us all in the palm of his hand with his informative but humorous speech.
Thank you to all the ladies at the reception table including Tommie Worthy, Susan Worthy, Jennifer Zarate and Emily Peaden. And let’s not forget Melanie Reed in charge of the auction table and who sold the most tickets.

Personally, I had a lot of fun working on the reception. It gave me the opportunity to work with old friends I have been working with over the years and make new friends that I look forward to working with again soon.

A special thank you to Teresa and Joe Aguilar, and their family, for all their hard work to make this event possible.
