We’re passionate about uniting one another
President Carrie Schween
2026 is our year of Sustained Growth, Connection, and Impact
As we look ahead to 2026, I am filled with excitement for the opportunities that await our club and community. Achieving our ambitious goals will require participation from all of our members. With collective energy, commitment, and ideas will be the driving force behind our progress.
Here’s how we plan to make this year our most impactful yet:
Membership Sustainment and Acceleration: 2025 awarded us with record breaking membership volume. It is crucial that we build upon this momentum by renewing every membership. Secondly, let’s open our doors to new faces and expand our vibrant network. Invite friends, family, and neighbors to join our mission. Every member – returning and new - strengthens our collective voice and helps us reach new heights.
Increase Community Presence in Shelby County: We are committed to being visible, active, and engaged in Shelby County. Whether it’s volunteering, attending local events, or supporting community initiatives, our presence will make a meaningful difference where it counts.
Collaborate with the Republican Party of Shelby County: With the important 2026 elections on the horizon, we’ll work hand-in-hand with local Republican leaders to ensure our values are represented and our priorities are heard. Together, we can help shape the future of our community.
Strengthen Internal Club Connections: Building deeper relationships among our members is essential. By supporting one another, sharing ideas, and working as a team, we’ll create a stronger, more united club that’s ready for any challenge.
Together, our efforts will make 2026 a memorable year of achievement and community impact. Every action—big or small—contributes to our shared mission. Let’s grow, connect, and make a difference as one united team.
Let’s make 2026 our best year yet - together!
Warm regards,
Carrie
