Monthly Newsletter

OCTOBER 2026

Message from the President

Hello CRW Members and Friends,



Can you believe it's already October? The crisp autumn air is such a welcome change from those scorching summer days, and it always feels like a fresh start.


This month holds extra significance as it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's a really important time for all of us to shine a light on this disease, remember those we've lost, support survivors, and spread the word about prevention and early detection. Let's stand together to make a difference! 


We've got an absolutely fantastic meeting lined up for you this month that you won't want to miss! We're thrilled to have JD Mesnard join us. He'll be breaking down all the propositions on our upcoming ballot, which can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. This is a perfect opportunity to get all your questions answered straight from the source! So, don't forget to grab your ballot and bring it along – let's get informed together.


But wait, there's more! We'll also be hearing from Kevin Thompson, who is running for the Arizona Corporation Commission. Understanding this role and what he stands for is super important as we head into the elections, so come ready to listen and learn.


With the general election just around the corner – seriously, less than 34 days away! – now is the critical moment for us to really rally together. We need every single one of us to be vigilant and actively support our Republican candidates. Every little bit of effort helps, whether it's hitting the pavement for some door-knocking, sending out postcards, making friendly phone calls, or putting up signs. Your involvement is absolutely crucial to ensure we get strong Republicans elected into office!


Keep an eye out for the 'Golden Ticket' attached to this newsletter! It’s a super handy voting reference guide, generously put together and paid for by the LD3 Republican committee. It's designed to help you navigate your ballot with ease, so definitely use it as a guide when you cast your vote.


Finally, let's make sure we carve out some time for some Halloween fun and treats! Wishing you all a 'spooktacular' Halloween filled with more treats than tricks, plenty of candy and wonderful festivities.


'BOOtifully' yours,

Marilyn Gregorin 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Thank You Region VI!


Our Region VI Southeast Valley Republican Women Tunnel to Towers 5K Team proudly supported the incredible mission of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation yesterday at Tempe Town Lake, with the beautiful, flag-filled Healing Field providing a moving backdrop for this special tribute to America’s heroes. This was a Caring for America project.


And we have even more reason to celebrate! Our team fundraiser exceeded its goal and raised $575 for T2T!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who generously donated and helped make this possible. Your support helps Tunnel to Towers provide mortgage-free homes, financial assistance, and hope to those who have sacrificed so much for our country.

Region VI was joyfully represented by:

Cindy Casaus • Debra Schinke • Karen Deadrick • Michelle Wilson • Sharon Goeman • Pat Tillery


What a joyful day of camaraderie, patriotism, remembrance and support for America’s heroes! Thank you to everyone who helped make our Tunnel to Towers 5K a success!
