President’s Corner Hello Everyone, After much anticipation and prayer, our “Lunch with Dr. Alveda King” is only a few days away and great excitement is in the air. The West Orange C.C. graciously offered to provide a venue for our meeting on Monday, June 10th, a day they are normally closed. Table decor is decided- white chair covers ordered, menu and raffle prizes determined. Photo Ops are available prior to meeting commencement & Dr. King’s books will be ready for purchase. In the past few weeks, (and as late as May 30th), Dr. King has been profiled in multiple media outlets, including Fox News, the Daily Signal (Heritage Foundation), & the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. We are honored to host such a nationally recognized and respected speaker & eagerly anticipate her message. Our ticket sales to date total just under 100, but our venue can accommo-date up to 170. Now is the time to contact Brenda Knowles for ticket sales & infor-mation.
Before closing, special thanks goes out to our VP Cree Haag for working so diligently to secure Dr. King’s commitment to speak, to Susse Mabie and her team of volunteers who graciously provide our lovely table decor, to Susse who designed and printed the event tickets, and to the staff of West Orange Country Club, for agreeing to accommo-date our club on this special occasion. We appreciate all of you more than you can know.
With heartfelt gratitude, Becky and the WORWF Board

SUMMARY OF THE MAY 2019
GENERAL MEETING
What a fascinating and eye opening luncheon meeting in
May!! Mrs. Hansberger, our guest speaker from the Legal
Immigrants for American Organization (LIFA), shared about
about USA immigration abuse, including the problems it
creates: for example: terrorism, spreading of diseases,
illegal crime waves and we are all victims. Karen Brown,
WORWF member, commented after the meeting that “the
information was powerful and Americans know very little,
and they must know the facts! The 14th Amendment is very
misunderstood and the rule of law must rule! Illegal immi-
gration does not improve our country. We must be brave
and it is our duty to stand up to this very difficult situation!”
Katie Dunagan, WORWF Americanism Chair, spoke about the History of the Star Spangled banner and then showed a 10 minute video about the Flag.
We honored a very special member, Shirley Sims, for her dedication to the WORWF; Shirley is moving to Georgia be closer to her daughter.
CLUB NEWS
On May 18th, a Training session was held for members
and District Chairs. Robert Olszewski attended the meeting and congratulated the elected OCREC District Chairs.
WORWF Club members pose with our Edgewood Chil-dren’s Ranch donations—Breakfast theme.
Karen Brown shared her thoughts about Katie’s
presentation: “It was very inspiring. Although I
knew the story, there were facts in her presentations
that were new to me. Her talk helped us “feel” the
emotions of the situation and how very important it
was to the Early Americans to see their flag still fly-
ing through so much struggle and heartache! God
was certainly with them through all their sacrifices.”
