OUR NEXT MEETING - Malibu Republican Women Federated
BULLETIN VOL. 24, ISSUE 01 JANUARY 2008 PRESIDENT: ALICE STARR Website: www.maliburwf.org MRWF 310.457.8082 OUR NEXT MEETING Thursday, January 24, 2007 • 11:30am –1:30pm LOCATION: Gladstone's Malibu Restaurant 17300 Pacific Coast Highway, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272 Cost: $35.00 Please RSVP by January 18th to Sally Zamarin at 310-457-3530 or via email [email protected] DON’T MISS OUR FEATURED GUEST SPEAKER Satiric Comedian, & Political Commentator-EVAN SAYET Topic: HOW LIBERALS THINK!!! Our featured speaker will powerfully articulate the mindset of the modern liberal-his message must be heard! Starting out as a standup comedian, Evan Sayet was spotted by David Letterman and offered a spot on a special episode featuring young talent. Segueing into writing, he was an integral part of “The Arsenio Hall Show,” and then the very first Creative Consultant on the highly respected “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher” (back when Maher was funny). After that Evan wrote and produced the highlyrated special for Discovery’s The Learning Channel called “The 70’s: From Bellbottoms to Boogie Shoes,” which he perfected into a book for a musical comedy. Evan has even tried his hand at game shows – as the original writer of the cult classic “Win Ben Stein’s Money.” The latest twist in Evan’s career came during the recent Presidential elections when Evan was made Communications Director in Los Angeles for President Bush. He wrote a number of articles for major conservative outlets, was asked to offer weekly commentary on KMJ radio and began to deliver his lecture “Regurgitating the Apple: How Modern Liberals ‘Think’” to an ever-growing audience. Evan is now one of the Los Angeles area’s most in-demand speakers -- a political pundit recognized as “brilliant” by Dennis Prager for his take on the unique power of the Judeo-Christian culture, and singled out by Rush Limbaugh for his explanation of why Liberals lie. “Evan Sayet is simply the best political comedian working in America today" -- David Horowitz “At last I can delight in a show that is genuinely funny." – Larry Elder Please Come and Invite Guests! We have a great jewelry vendor, Ronelle Jewelry, who will be attending. Ronelle designs her own pieces and has an array of beautiful items. Please bring your checkbooks.

Bobby Ayres. There was also a feast to remember, cooked with love by our wonderful members. There was not a dry eye or an empty stomach in Alice Scholefield’s beautiful home! Judge Bruce Einhorn swore in the 2008 Board, and was then rewarded with a surprise birthday cake for his December 7th birthday. Brig. Gen. Michael Teilmann, of military bearing and orator’s voice, told us about the USO, which he runs at LAX, right under the “Theme Restaurant” landmark. This provides a warm, restful shelter, food and goodies for soldiers between flights. We presented him with a check for $100 toward his cause. Just back from Guantanamo, he told Continued from previous column…………. The Army Jr. ROTC from Verdugo Hills HS, under the direction of Sgt. Rodney Scott, did a beautiful job with the flag ceremonies. It was touching to see them, on the edge of the Pacific, looking out toward Pearl Harbor across the water. It made us all proud to see these stalwart young men do the honors so beautifully. Harpist Melani Mitton played beautifully, the National Anthem, then Christmas music; she also sang and played “Memorial,” which she wrote especially in honor of Sgt. Bobby Ayres. His “second mother,” Nancy Schellkopf, and his lovely fiancée spoke about Sgt. Ayres, a Malibu H.S. graduate who was killed by a sniper in Iraq in September. Then Taps was played by Melani and trumpeter Ryan Swenson. Thank you to all the lovely cooks and hard workers who made this all happen. And a special thank you to those who brought stuffed animals for the My Stuff Bag Foundation. us about the soldiers he met who were stationed there. Chief John McCallum, of the Navy Seabees at Port Hueneme, told us about the good works he’s coordinating up there, helping service families who can’t afford Christmas. We donated $100 to him for that good cause. We also had Frank LaRosa, president of local Ch. 355 (“The Lost Patrol”), Vietnam Vets of America, who brought along another Vietnam Vet, Sgt. Hogan, with his beautiful seeing-eye dog. Continued on next column……..
