GOP MOMS GATHER IN RED BANK FOR THE FIRST MEETING OF THE MONMOUTH COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF REPUBLICAN MOMS

Red Bank, New Jersey – Republican women from across the County gathered recently at Manhattan Bagel in Red Bank for the first meeting of the Association of Republican Moms. The excitement at the meeting was overwhelming. Some of the honored guests included Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini, Middletown Mayor Pam Brightbill and Monmouth Surrogate Rosemarie Peters. Guest speaker, Monmouth County Sheriff, Kimberly Guadagno, gave an interesting overview of the Monmouth County Sheriff's office. Sheriff Guadagno highlighted some of the cost saving initiatives she instituted and spoke at length about her community outreach programs.

The Monmouth County Association of Republican Moms is the first of its kind in New Jersey and was founded in an effort to provide a convenient forum for mothers who feel strongly about local, state and national political issues. The group's slogan "Reaching for a Brighter Future" embodies the spirit of the group's mission - ensuring a better New
Jersey for future generations.

"Our leaders need to focus on future generations, our children and grandchildren. The world our children inherit should be better and brighter because of the decisions we make today," said Christine Hanlon, founder of the group. "As mothers and leaders we need to ensure that Monmouth County remains a beautiful place to raise our families."

The next meeting of the Association will take place on March 31, 2009 at the Monmouth County Library in Shrewsbury. There will be a presentation by Assemblywoman Caroline Casagrande (R-12) about economic issues affecting families in Monmouth County and New Jersey. Kathy Lodato, President of the Monmouth Federation of Republican Women, will also be a guest speaker. Children are welcome.
