Request for Nominations for 2011 Lincoln Day Awards

MARICOPA COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE LINCOLN DAY D AWARDS GUIDELINES

NOTICE:

All awards are based on actions taken by prospective recipients in the year PRECEEDING the actual year that the Lincoln Day Luncheon is held. EXAMPLE: The 2011 Lincoln Lunch are given as the result of actions taken during CY2010.

One of the reasons that a Lincoln Day Luncheon is held is to recognize the hard work of our Precinct Committeemen and honor them for their dedication and commitment under what are, sometimes, trying circumstances.

There are four (4) levels of awards:

1. CERTIFICATES OF ACHEIVEMENT--To be presented to precinct committeemen who have done an outstanding job during the previous year. These recipients are selected by the District. One Certificate will be awarded for every twenty-five (25) precinct committeemen, or major portion thereof, within the District. Maximum of eight (8) Certificates per District.

2. VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD-- One (1) award to be presented to the most outstanding volunteer in each District.

3. THE LINCOLN BUST--To be presented to the one person selected by the Awards Committee to receive the Countys highest award. Only one (1) Lincoln Bust will be presented in the Area. Only one award will be made to an individual in a lifetime. The following criteria will apply:

A. Must be an elected Precinct Committeeman
B. Neither elected public officials nor current District Chairmen are eligible
C. Give priority for work done in the Precincts
D. Consider the number of years served as a Precinct Committeeman
E. Consider other party activities engaged in
F. Consider participation in Community and Civic Activities
G. Paid staff are not eligible for award

4. THE REAGAN PLAQUE--To be presented to a person meeting the same general criteria as the Lincoln Bust with the exception that the Reagan Award may be given to someone who has not yet exhibited a lifetime of service to the Party, and an individual may, conceivable, receive more than one Reagan Award in their lifetime.

The AWARDS COMMITTEE for the event are:

Chairman Phil Mason, Gopphil@aol.com
Lyle Tuttle, L.tuttle@cox.net

In Memoriam of those who served:

Bill Buck of LD15 died very suddenly in December 2010. Bill spent most of his active PC life in old LD25, but recently became involved in LD15 and had been elected in November as Treasurer. He also did a great job working the booth at the state fair. Bill Buck was a long time PC for the Republican Party. Bill Buck is in our memories today.

Change Of Organizational Meeting Date, and Other Items

Organizational Meeting : The regularly scheduled meeting for Legislative District 15 will be changed from November 18th to December 1. This is due to the special nature of the meeting and the by-laws of Maricopa County Republican Committee.

After each election, we are required to notify each precinct committeeman of an organizational meeting to be held before January. The regulations require 10 days advance notice by mail. In order to comply with the rules, the meeting will be held December 1, 2010.

You will receive the formal call letter soon, informing you of the date change and other pertinent information. I realize that this is going to inconvenience some people, but it is unavoidable. Please understand that failure to change the day of the meeting could negate the results of any decisions made at that reorganization meeting.

The meeting will now be in-compliance with the MCRC by laws. My apology for any inconvenience this may cause.

You will also receive a Proxy for the meeting. If you are unable to make the meeting you may have a person in your precinct vote in your absence. He or she need not be a precinct committeeman but must be a registered Republican residing in your precinct.

Nominations: In addition to voting for the offices of LD 15 Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, we will also be electing 25 State Committeeman. The state committee meeting will be January 22, probably at Paradise Valley High School, although the site has not been confirmed as of this date. If you are interested in running for any of the above positions contact any of the members of the nominating committee as soon as possible: Milt Wheat at 602-265-4958; Dick Bauer at 602-495-1665; or Joe Abate at 602-222-8337. This is a great way for you to influence what goes on with the County organization. All elected Precinct Committeepersons are eligible to run for any of the above positions. It is a good time to get involved.

Proposed changes to By-Laws: Any and all proposed changes to the MCRC bylaws must be received, in writing, no later than midnight November 30, 2010.

Contact information of the person who is submitting the proposed change must be included, as we may wish to contact them for amplification or clarification.

Please send all such proposed changes to L.tuttle@cox.net
