January 2025

Letter from the President by Charli Thyne

The future is bright! Soon there will be a new sheriff in town. 


Sadly, the current president stomps all over the Constitution as he walks out the door. His mob-like approach to pre-emptive pardons is a sordid abuse of power. Finally, the criminal operation that has run rampant in the PEOPLE’s house will cease. 


Under Donald J. Trump’s leadership, selective prosecution will end, the constitution will be restored, democracy will be protected and the rule of law will reign.


As Donald Trump takes his rightful seat behind the Resolution desk, he has promised to cut taxes, build the wall, expand ICE and the border patrol, and refocus our great military. He will roll back rules and regulations that are negatively affecting small businesses. He may even finally be successful in reducing the size and reach of government. A gigantic reset is coming to America!


This is the time of year that many of us will be making resolutions. What will yours be? Lose weight? Eat heathier? Exercise more? Get out of debt? Save more? Mine are to put others' needs ahead of my own, be kinder, and to be more thankful for all the amazing blessings and mercies God has bestowed on me and my loved ones.


But most important: We should all resolve to do everything we can to support Donald Trump as he strives to keep his promises. He will face strong resistance and have to fight for every step forward. We The People must have his back if we want to make it all happen.


Wishing you a happy and healthy 2025!


Charli

Wreaths Across America matching program

The Wreaths Across America campaign is always a heartwarming tribute to those who served our country. This past year was no exception.


But now there's an exciting new incentive to jump start MRW’s campaign for 2025! It's a Matching Campaign that ends on January 17, 2025.


  • All sponsorships (online and mailed) will be matched if you go through our MRW Wreaths Across America web page.
  • If you purchase 2 wreaths, you get an extra wreath, as you have always done in the past. BUT IN ADDITION: the two wreaths you purchased will be matched - totalling 5 wreaths for the price of 2!


Think about what that will mean for the Wreaths Across America program next December - and you can get it done now.


The deadline to order wreaths is January 17. If you have any questions, please contact Mariann or call her at (910) 489-7825.
