WCRW Snowing Ornaments

The Williamson County Republican Women singing (well, sort of) about the ornament collection they amassed and are auctioning on ebay. The collection includes signed ornaments from Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Karl Rove, Martha MacCallum, Governors Pawlenty, Pataki, and Perry, Senators Hutchison and Cornyn, Congressmen and women, and many more! Bidding will continue until Tuesday, October 27, at 5am... What a hoot these women are!

The Williamson County Republican Women have collected Christmas Ornaments signed by various Republican 'celebrities,' and are auctioning the entire collection in a 5-day, online auction. Notables such as Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Karl Rove, have donated ornaments, and many of the ornaments are quite valuable as individual items. Assembled into this collection, they are priceless.

Many of the ornaments reflect something of the donor; Karl Rove, known in political circles as 'The Architect,' donated a White House Ornament that commemorates White House architect James Hoban.

Conservative champion Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota donated a glass elephant wearing a winter hat and scarf, and Sarah Palin donated an Alaska-themed ornament along with several unique pins from her state.

Other notable donors include Martha MacCallum of Fox News, RNC Chairman Michael Steele, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, Governor Rick Perry, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, and Congressman John Carter.

It has been such fun to collect these ornaments said Auction Co-Chair Barbara Goergen. The support of Republican leaders both locally and nationally is truly humbling.

Local elected officials have donated some of the more whimsical ornaments. One of my favorites is a Christmas 'Duck' representing the Taylor Ducks, from Mayor Pro-Tem Ella Jez, said Club President Holly Hansen.

Williamson County Constable Bobby Guttierez, a motorcycle enthusiast, donated a motorcycle ornament, and Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield, rarely seen without his trademark bow-tie, gave a 'bow-tie' ornament.

Founded in 1977, the Williamson County Republican Women's Organization consists of Conservative-minded women and men, and works to promote an 'informed electorate,' elect Republican candidates, and impact Local, State, and National Politics. In addition, the club provides scholarships to young women of the county, and through an active Literacy Project, donates dictionaries to area third-graders and books to local libraries.

Proceeds from the auction will fund these community service projects and political activity.

The auction is a strictly on-line affair. The Williamson County Republican Women have been successfully using programs such as Ebay, Evite, Facebook, and Twitter to conduct the auction. For more information and a link to the Ebay auction site, visit http://www.williamsoncountyrepublicanwomen.com
