CONSERVATIVE CLUB HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING AND STRAW POLL

Prior to the club’s annual meeting a presidential straw poll was held for all members of the Conservative Coalition of East Pasco which included the Tea Party Patriots of Dade City, and Conservative Club. Rick Santorum won the straw poll, Mitt Romney was second and third was Newt Gingrich.

At the annual meeting officers and executive board members were elected. Re-elected were Dick Albrecht, President; Wanda Stevens, Secretary and Lois Hackney, Treasurer. Bob Solomon was elected Vice-President. The membership approved an amendment to the by-laws increasing the board membership from five to seven due to the 35 percent increase in club membership in 2011. Re-elected to the board were W. Cliff McDuffie, Greg First, Richard Bergman, and Kurt Sombutmai (2-Minutes). Newly elected board members are Gordon Hyde, former vice-President; Rabbi Larry Johnson and Denis Murray. Several guests attending included former Pasco County commissioner Steve Simon who declared his candidacy for Pasco GOP state committeeman.

Club President announced a Government Gone Wild presentation will be held on President’s Day, February 20 at the Zephyrhills Wesleyan Church at 6:30 p.m. The presenter will be Blaise Ingoglia. The seminar will be presented along with a patriotic musical conducted by Pastors Dan and Patty David.
