JOIN our "women in action"
To all Republican Women,
It is my honor to be elected as the Greater Fayette Republican Women's Club President for 2024-2025. As a member of this incredible organization for four years, I have seen us grow as a membership, work over 4,000 volunteer hours in 2023, and win recognition awards for the work we have done to educate our community about Republican values, the Republican mission, and Republican platforms. Additionally, and maybe most importantly, I have learned how voting for the Republican candidates on election day is not what being a Republican is. It is bigger than voting. It is about supporting what we want our Republican elected officials to represent and support while creating the laws we must follow. It is about understanding WHY we vote for the Republican Party. Without the GFRWC, I would not be an educated voter at the polls and I do believe we should be educated on what is at stake for the future of America.
Now as I begin the journey to lead our "Women In Action" members, I invite you to join us to share and to educate Republican values with our community and to support our elected Republican officials.
We have opportunities for everyone to engage in from attending meetings where we hear from engaging speakers and candidates to getting out on the campaign trails with candidates to meet other Republicans and the undecided voter to support our candidates at the polls! There is no limit to what we can do but we cannot do any of this without helping hands and conservative voices. It's time to get to work and I invite you to work alongside us!
I hope you will consider joining us in 2025 as we continue on with our efforts. We have a membership table set up at every monthly meeting.
