CURRENT EDITION
April 30, 2025 – Devilish Details

2025-7 – For immediate release | A survey of vacation spots once found that Kansas was dead last of the fifty states people wanted to visit. I have sometimes wondered if that survey wasn’t influenced by Kansans who just didn’t want their state’s unique appeal to get out. Kansas has been the pivot for much of our country’s history, and is full of beautiful and interesting sites, even more so for Catholics. See the Appendix if you don’t believe me.
We are just two months out from the National Conference, so get registered and start planning your vacation to Atchison, KS. The conference itself runs from Friday afternoon to Sunday noon, and personally, I’d allow a few extra days to see the sights. Wonderful places I’ve already visited are the National WWI Museum, St. Mary’s and the monastery of Sister Wilhelmina. I’m looking forward to checking out Pace et Bene, the steamboat museum, and Weston. There is so much to see in Atchison, and in Kansas City as well.
Registration is live on the CORAC website here >

It is nice to find the CORAC newsletter here! I will cut and paste my initial thoughts “comment” on our inaugural edition of the note I sent our editor when it was hot off the press. ✒️📜
“Hi Sheryl,
Congrats on your inaugural newsletter rollout! I had a chance to peruse it and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the fresh and unique Interstate Insights piece. It was clever and creative and reminded me a bit of Charlie’s coffee shop ponderings, only on a much broader scale.
I enjoy first hand eye witness stories! What he shared about experiencing more people non-complying is an inspiration to me and I am sure others as well. Good stuff there.
Jen Byrd…”
SO awesome, Sheryl! Love the idea, the format and your work which has brought this to fruition.
Thank you so much,
Beckita
I am glad we are reporting on the Surety Bonds more widely in our CORAC newsletter. CORAC R4 & R11 previously expressed interest in this strategy in defending our families and freedoms.
A follow up to some Surety Bonds successes. This weeks Bonds For The Win – reported in their update – “We the People Liberated 358,149 Children this Week!” Praise be to God CORAC R7-Illinois is blazing some trails on this front.

Regions, please be sure to report actions be taken locally in this or other initiative so we highlight your works and others may benefit from your experiences. This weekend’s R13 Scottsdale gathering to defend the faith and the faithful while the entire event and all participating were covered in prayer by our CORAC Prayer Team and volunteers is a blessing for us and for all. Thank you kindly. 😉
