Jane Cansino Receives Award at the TFRW 2011 State Convention

LARW member Jane Cansino was honored recently at the TFRW Biennial State Convention held in Fort Worth, Texas.

Jane was selected and received one of the "Ten Outstanding" Texas Federation of Republican Women Award.

Jane was recognized for her involvement in Federation Activities (local, state, and national), Campaign Activities, Republican Party Activities, and Community Activies.

Congratulations to Jane Cansino for this well deserved honor!

                                                       “WE THE PEOPLE”

                        I have been giving a great deal of thought into what our fore-
                        fathers’ meant when they chose these three words to begin writing the guidelines for our government. Imagine the government serving the people instead of making a career out of government “service”.

I am honored to serve the membership of LARW as President in 2012. This election year will be one of the most significant in our history. Our country is in trouble and it is TIME for “We The People” to stand together and make our voices and votes heard throughout the nation. I urge you to become involved this year, bring guests to our meetings so that they can become informed and involved.

The days of the social club are over, this organization is for like-minded people to join hands, hearts and voices to implement the three little words that our forefathers intended when they set up the standard of government so many years ago.

Once again, thank you for the honor of serving as your President. I look forward to a fun and exciting election year.

God Bless You and God Bless the United States of America.
