The Whitestone Republican Club leadership felt it was important coming out of such a highly emotional election that we hold some kind of gathering to bring in the holidays. It shouldn't only be elitist elected officials and their family members that can spend a rare evening out with others. In early December we held a small gathering observing all the covid guidelines in place at the time. Every attendee was told to wear a mask and everyone either had one when entering or was given one. Everyone there had a great time and we were pleased that we gave people that time to be together with others of like mind and spirit as we get ready to move forward into what will hopefully be a much better 2021.
