Dear Committee People, Ward Leaders and Office Holders:

I am stepping down as Chair of our Committee and, pursuant to our by-laws, Vice Chair Jim Clark will become chair and serve out my term, which ends after the Primary 2010.
Although I will remain an active Republican, I plan to work to re-elect my father-in-law, Arlen Specter.

I want to thank you for your involvement in our Committee and your support of our Republican organization. Although you have a full life, including families, jobs, and other civic commitments, you choose to spend a significant portion of your time involved in our Committee. Thank you for all that you did, are doing, and will do for RCLMN. I have enjoyed getting to know and working with each of you. Over the past 5 ½ years as Chair (and during my 20 years in this organization), you have become my extended family.

I am very proud of what we have accomplished together and continue to be a cohesive, pro-active group that embraces the “big tent" idea, welcoming and inclusive of all Republicans. We worked efficiently and successfully during a difficult time in our party to elect Republicans, while building and significantly increasing our base of involved Republicans. I am especially proud of our Statement of Principals (http://www.lowermerionvote.org/aboutus.html ), which was adopted by Montgomery County Republican County, and other Republican Committees throughout The Commonwealth.

I know Jim Clark and the rest of our Executive Committee will continue to embrace our Statement of Principals plus the legacy of inclusiveness that was passed down to me by my mentor, Dennis Sharkey. I am thrilled Jim has agreed to be our new Chair.

A special thank you to those who have served on my Executive Committee. I am very proud of our many accomplishments , which would not have been possible without the hard work and support of my stellar Executive Team, including, Jim Clark, Steve Schain, Elizabeth Preate Havey, David Shannon, Jeff Bartos, Dennis Sharkey, Pat Broderick and Michael Berry.
It has also been a pleasure working with our outstanding Executive Directors: Marie Loonstyn, Scott Savett, Cailin Langan and Kacie Peters, each of our whom has been enthusiastic, committed, positive and productive.

It has been an honor serving as your Chair. I enjoyed every moment, and I will miss working with each of you.

All my best,
Tracey
