REPUBLICAN CLUB

The club has tentatively scheduled a picnic for Tuesday, June 15, in the picnic area by Clubhouse 1 to honor and celebrate the volunteers who have worked so hard during the past year.
The last Repblican Club meeting in April featured a discussion rather than a speaker. The discussion, led by Brian Harmon, focused on a number of topics, including regulation of big tech, unlimited immigration, election integrity and Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict.
The guilty verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin for Killing George Floyd sparked considerable discussion. Some members were concerned about aspects of the trial including its publicity, while other’s supported the verdict, believing that the jury received information the public didn’t and did the best they could with the information presented.
A club member suggested holding a panel discussion on the larger issue of police violence and ways of preventing it in the future. The Republican Club’s president suggested inviting a police officer to speak to the club on the subject, from the perspective of being in a situation where life and death decisions must be made, sometimes in less than a second. ••• The GOP club does not charge membership dues or impose any other financial obligation on members.
