(In an open e-mail to the Young Republicans, dated January 11, 2010)
Hello Friends,
I hope this e-mail finds you well and that the New Year has brought you joy and prosperity!
It’s hard to believe that at this time last year the SCV Young Republican Club was yet to be conceived. It has been a great honor to have seen this club take flight in a direction that has helped to promote the values and principles of Republicans.
Thanks to the dedication and leadership of both young and “not as young" Republicans, this year promises to bring success and growth to our club.
Without further ado, I would like to introduce the newly elected SCV Young Republican Executive Board.
President - Brett Walter (re-elected)
Vice President - Kim Haueter
Secretary - Dave Perry
Treasurer - Krista Dabbas
Congratulations and thank you for your commitment!
Sincerely,
Suzette Martinez-Woodruff
Former SCV Young Republican Vice President

A brief background on the Young Republicans
The Young Republicans (YRs) are the oldest political youth organization in the United States. Important to the growth of the Republican Party, the YRs reach out to registered Republicans, 18 to 40 years of age, and provide them with better political knowledge and understanding of the issues of the day.
The first organized effort of the YRs began in New York City in 1859; three years after the Republican Party selected its first presidential candidate. A year later, the YRs played a critical role in helping elect Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President in American history.
It was in 1931 that the YRs were organized nationally. In 1935, the Young Republican division officially became the Young Republican National Federation (YRNF).
Since its creation, the YRNF has established itself as the premier Republican grassroots organization in the nation, providing essential grassroots support for Republican candidates and conservative issues on the local, state and national levels.
The YRNF has a solid record of producing future Republican Party leaders - including Governors, Senators, Congressmen, nationally recognized campaign consultants, and community leaders.
Through recruiting, training and mobilizing people, the YRNF presents an opportunity for ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Through community involvement in political issues, charitable projects and participation in political campaigns, YRs work to improve the world in which we live.
While the YRs are best known for political activism and service to our communities, YR events also provide a great opportunity for interaction amongst membership. This interaction allows for the exchange of ideas, networking, and friendships that will last a lifetime.
The YRs provide different opportunities for different people. No matter what your long-term goals may be, the YRs serve as the building blocks for a successful future.
