Celebration and connection, with America First enthusiasm is moving across the Central Texas RW community and Texas during this glorious summer season.    The RED Roof Connections movement is going strong, bringing the community together with stops at Chamber of Commerce gatherings, the 1914 House in Temple for coffee and Southern Roots Brewing Company, located in Killeen, for an evening of food, drinks, and a brewery tour. For July, look for RED Roof Connections at Black Rifle Coffee Company's Temple location on July 17th, starting at 9:00 a.m. Come, chat, have coffee, and look for some of your elected officials to stop by. These casual gatherings are fantastic opportunities to create deeper relationships with Central Texas RW members and a community that wants to know more about connecting with Conservative Republicans across the area. A big thank you goes out to each of you, our members, who are tremendous ambassadors for the Club, as Central Texas RW members continue to support local small businesses and fostering relationships as “bridge builders” to inspire rich community conversations.    Celebration TIME!
