Dexter, Missouri - Young Republicans of Stoddard County, formerly TARS, met at a local restaurant on Sunday, January 29th making plans for the upcoming 2017 political year. Several were in attendance, but it is hoped to have a few more interested.

"Our goal is to increase young people being involved in politics on the local, state, and national level," stated 151st State Representative Tila Hubrecht.  "Our meetings will be held throughout the county so everyone has an opportunity to come and participate.  This is not just a Dexter group, but for anyone in Stoddard County to join."

"We will be utilizing our Facebook page and creating Event Pages for people to keep informed," continued Hubrecht.  "There will not be an age limit.  We really just want young people to get involved, high school - college - as young as you feel to come out and join!"

Many ideas were tossed around the tables as well as having a local Conference in Stoddard County, possibly as early as March with dinner and guest speakers.

The next Young Republicans Club meeting will be held on Sunday, February 26th at 3:00 p.m. at Burger King in Dexter.  There is an Event Page created so please mark yourself as attending by clicking HERE.
