Allan Martin, candidate for Washington State Treasurer, will be speaking in Sequim at the Paradise Restaurant on April 22, 2008.  The event is sponsored by the Republican Women of Clallam County, and co-sponsored by the Clallam County Republican Party.  Come for early birds dinner at 5:30 – Martin will begin speaking at 6:30 p.m.

 Martin is currently serving as Assistant Washington State Treasurer.  He was a former Chelan County Treasurer, a Republican.

Allan Martin's experience and skill in Treasury operations is recognized statewide.  He is endorsed by county treasurers across the state, State Treasurer Mike Murphy, Attorney General Rob McKenna, Secretary of State Sam Reed, and former Governor Dan Evans, and many other notable local officials and citizens.

"My experience in state and local government and having lived on both sides of the Cascades will benefit the taxpayers of our state," said Martin.

Allan is married to Sue Martin who grew up in South Seattle.  They have three children, including a daughter serving in the United State Marine Corps.

Please email Lois Perry (lomayk@yahoo.com) if you plan on coming, so we can let the restaurant know how many will be in attendance.   

There will be no meeting in March.

Please keep in mind our Shoebox Project - where we collect personal items for our soldiers serving overseas. We have sent boxes to many of our troops overseas over the course of this ongoing project. Please bring items for the next military gift boxes, or leave them for Shauna Millar or Sue Forde at The Master Locksmith Shop, 445 W. Washington, Sequim.  Check clallamrepublicans.org/rwcc/index.html for the suggested donations list.                                      

[Note:  Regular meetings will be held on the fourth Tuesdays of the month.  On even months, we will meet at Republican Headquarters in Port Angeles; on odd months, we will meet at Jeremiah’s Restaurant in Sequim.]
