Holstein, and Richard Sanders.

the I.T. committee, the Henderson County Elections Committee, the Bail 
Bond Board, as well as many other county committees throughout the 
years. She has also been a member of the Athens Kiwanis for over twenty 
years--serving as secretary for almost ten of those years. She is a 
member of Lone Star Republican women, Henderson County Republican 
Women's Club and the Cedar Creek Republican Club.
  Ms. Moffeit has been married to her high school sweetheart 43 years. 
They have two daughters: Misty Wilmeth and Amy Cooper, with four
