Appleton's Loss is Yuma's Gain!

Tonight The Empress and myself went to a going away party. One of the hardcore and longtime volunteers for the Outagamie County Republican Party Apryl Brand is putting an end to her Snowbird status, and moving to Yuma Arizona on a fulltime basis.

Unfortunately the OCRP has lost someone that can be counted on 100% of the time. In fact, another party member in tribute said if they wanted something to happen they would discuss it in front of Apryl and she would step right up.

In attendance to this sad but wonderful event (she got a job offer from the Yuma hospital she could not refuse) was Mark Green, John Gard, Jack Voight, Carrie Schneider (Outagamie County DA & OCRP chair), and Steve Wieckert.

In addition to her work as a volunteer for Republican causes she was involved in the needs of the whole community. She was part of a team that set up a clinic for the homeless and poor (early '90s and this clinic is still going), she performed overseas missionary work, and she was a state delegate to the 2000 Republican National Convention. What an inspiration to all of us!

Apryl, in the title I say Yuma is gaining but it is more accurate to Arizona is gaining! Say hi to JD Hayworth for all of us and tell John McCain to straighten up!

God Bless You & thank you for your work!
