2022 MEMBERSHIP TO GFRWC
JOIN our "women in action"
To all Republican Women,
I have been so proud to serve as president of the Greater Fayette Republican Women's Club for the past two years. We have grown from a club of 10 women in 2020 to over 100 members as we close out 2021!
In these two years the GFRWC members were very busy in many aspects of good government, as you can see from the photo slide show on this page. We are not a social club, we are "Women in Action" doing what we love to assure that those we elect at every level of government are maintaining the conservative values we expect from them while they are in office.
At the September 2021 National Convention I was proud to accept for our membership the highest award given by the National Federation of Republican Women - the Diamond Achievement Award.
I hope you will consider joining us in 2022 as we continue on with our efforts.
All new and renewal membership dues paid after Sept. 1, 2021 will be applied to the 2022 annual memberships. We have a membership table set up at every monthly meeting. Or to join or renew with an online form and credit card, CLICK HERE:
