Article 2: Y-R’s Plan For Future / At the last meeting of the Young Republicans, officers for next year were elected. Margaret Lawrence was elected Chairman. / The other newly elected officers are: Vice Chairman, Marty Blair; Treasurer, Nikki Fowler; Recording Secretary, Linda Cobb; Corresponding Secretary, Joan Mysiak. / Bari Holden, the present Chairman described the aims for the Club next year: “The main focus of attention in planning a general program for next year should be directed toward a greater involvement in community service. The main activities of the Club this year have been directed toward our service to those activities dealing specifically with Young Republicans themselves, such as the Page Young campaign and several regional and state conferences and conventions. Now we should work to round ourselves out and make ourselves known for community service as well.” / The many awards that were presented Thursday evening are testimony to the work of the Young Republicans. Marty Blair and Nikki Fowler received awards for their work in recruiting MWC republicans into the Club. The Young Republicans themselves received several commandations (sic) for their outstanding efforts from various state and regional organizations. / Also at the meeting a recommendation that the Young Republicans contribute as a club to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship came under much lively discussion and was finally placed in the hands of the Executive Board for further action.
