Before the reorganization was concluded, Former Republican Party Secretary Joy McCroskey was recognized and thanked for her many years of service.

It was great seeing so many folks that I have known for over 32 years of active Knox County Republican Party involvement. In addition, I met several new folks, even a new person (Hannah Coleman Gard) came up and introduced herself to me. Overall, a great beginning to a new season for the Knox County Republican Party.
