Carolyn McCorkle

The Sun Lakes Republican Club will feature “Protecting Life and Liberty,” with speakers George Khalaf and Ashley Trussell, at its monthly meeting on Wednesday, March 12, at 6:30 p.m. in the Navajo Room of Sun Lakes Country Club, 25601 S. Sun Lakes Blvd., in Sun Lakes. The public is invited. Please bring your friends and neighbors. Our mission is “Education for an Informed Electorate.” Light desserts will be served for your enjoyment.

George Khalaf serves as president of Data Orbital, managing partner of The Resolute Group, and a partner at First Day Public Relations. For more than a decade, he has leveraged his political instincts, data expertise, and strategic relationships to advance conservative clients and causes throughout Arizona and a growing number of states. He believes conservative policies create thriving communities and wants to equip conservative candidates and organizations with the best data, messaging, and strategy. George’s engagement is driven by his personal faith and his Lebanese heritage. He knows firsthand the price of freedom and the importance of protecting our core values and constitutional rights.

With a strong grassroots and data background, George has worked at the local, state, and national levels. Under his leadership, Data Orbital is a top-ranked survey research and data visualization firm that is known for its accuracy and transparency. As managing partner of The Resolute Group, Khalaf led the effort to keep the Arizona legislature conservative in the most contentious districts and races across the state. He will encourage us with the lessons learned from the election, as well as provide an update on the current national and state trends in opinions and priorities, to help us find common ground with our neighbors.

Ashley Trussell will be sharing news about the upcoming March 15 Arizona March for Life. Founded over 50 years ago in 1974, Arizona Right to Life is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. The mission of the Arizona Right to Life is to protect and defend the lives of all persons born and pre-born. Right to Life believes that every person has the right to life, and they work to promote this fundamental right enshrined in our country’s founding documents. Right to Life recommends that we donate to our local pregnancy resource centers.

To help our members do just that, Director Lisa Henry of the Pregnancy Care Center of Chandler (PCC) will share the compassionate and creative ways in which the Center walks with women throughout their pregnancy and beyond. The Pregnancy Care Center of Chandler provides free services, including tests, counseling, referrals, and other resources, such as ultrasounds. We will have a “baby shower” for them at our meeting and invite you to bring unwrapped baby items for their clients’ boutique. Some suggested items are diapers size 4-5 (no pull-ups, please), baby wipes, baby wash, Target or Walmart gift cards, and paper products.

Please join us to make a positive difference in Sun Lakes/Chandler! For more information, visit our website www.slgop.org or contact Mike Tennant at 262-880-4620.
