At Christmas time especially, it is truly heartening to know that there are so many people within our conservative movement who are giving their time and energy to help others and to make where we live a better place.
On December 14, our membership gathered to celebrate, I had a special privilege to recognize the valuable work of the many individuals who give of their time for this mission we believe in. This was an enjoyable evening of celebration, reflection, joy and Christmas cheer held at the beautiful Memories on the Hill in Jonesville MI. I would like to thank everyone who attended, but especially the planning committee for making the occasion such a joyful success.
Christmas is a wonderful time of the year – offering the chance to catch up with friends, loved ones and our families. For me it is also a time to reflect on what has been a busy year for the PAC. We were able to help a child in need obtain a communication device here locally through Jasminn’s Voice. We led and participated in many campaign efforts this summer, as well as helping (2) coordinated picnics in our community to help feed those in need. We put in countless hours to help get Trump re-elected here in Hillsdale, the state of Michigan as well as members efforts in New York, Missouri, Wisconsin and Indiana! We continue to support Toys for Tots in the summer at our huge Christmas in July event, and had a blast at the County Fair meeting so many good Hillsdalians, many who are joining the movement. We look forward to 2025 as a time to expand our efforts locally and establishing even more community service events to be the change we can believe in together.
I have been filled with pride during my short time as the new Chairman, it has been a privilege to be nominated and selected by so many members of all ages and from different walks of life. I make this promise that I won’t let you down and we will strengthen, expand and prosper together.
We should all take a step back from our busy lives and enjoy time this festive period with our loved ones. There is nothing more magical than decorated trees, lights, presents, family and friends to brighten up our lives and spending this season with the people you care for makes it even more special. But it’s also important that this period is used to reflect upon the misfortune of others around us. Our neighbors, the elderly, the sick or vulnerable, who perhaps are spending the festive period alone or in hardship. Please do what you can to extend the spirit of Christmas beyond your own home and into the lives of those who may need assistance or kindness shown in the coming weeks. If we truly are America First, this is exactly how we should live with that mindset. Be the change you know our community needs.
We should also remember with gratitude everyone who will be working over this holiday period, particularly those in our emergency services and hospitals and to them I extend our sincerest wishes for a peaceful and happy festive period.
On behalf of The Hillsdale Conservatives, I would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
IN LIBERTY,
Josh Gritzmaker, Chair
