In 2011 PARA went through some amazing changes and growth and we have no one to thank but Our LORD and SAVIOUR ... JESUS CHRIST.
Members were added monthly and soon we were back to where we were when PARA was re-established in 1999. Additionally PARA's President A. L. "LUCKY" Lucketta needed to expand and appoint new officers to cover the needs of our members and our jurisdiction - the 5th Supervisorial District.
PARA continued to meet monthly, first at Helping Hands, then we moved to the Pizza Factory and soon we out grew that facility as well and currently meet at Charlies Pizza Kitchen at 1531 North Main Street.
One of the changes that our members and community enjoyed was how we met and what was covered on the agenda. One month we had special speakers and the next month we opened up our podium and microphones to the public, meaning you could actually show up and actually speak to your subject or topic ... for a minimum of 10 minutes and possibly up to 30 minutes. We called this our "Political Pot-Luck" ... because we really wanted to hear what the public had to say.
PARA, through out 2011 conducted several surveys - with our own organization and a few on the street polls as well. Some of the results of these surveys were discussed internally and some actually went public and made the news.
On December 4th 2011, PARA's BOD had our final meeting to discuss our agenda for next year - 2012 - and to review / amend / change our by-laws ... which we did. In 2012, we plan on keeping our ever-popular "Political Pot-Luck" - which will officially start in February.
PARA will be having a "CHRISTMAS PARTY" on December 22nd 2011 and if you'd like to come and visit with us for a while, that would be great. However, we'd like for you to contact the chairperson for this event Ms Annabelle Geobel at (559) 789-3922 / 784-4401 and RSVP.
BTW, if you have thought about joining PARA, our fourth quarter membership applications will be going in to CRA Headquarters before December 30th 2011, so please contact Mr. A. L. Lucketta ASAP at (559) 784-PARA or send an e-mail to membership@pa-ra.org. Keep in mind, PARA is truely conservative and many, if not most of our members, are Christians. RINO's and CRoC's need not apply.
FINAL NOTE : Yes we will be adding to this "What's New" page monthly in 2012 and yes we will be adding pictures ... a lot of pictures, so stay tunes and get on board ASAP.
Thanks ... A. L. "LUCKY" Lucketta - PARA President
