LRWC - Lincoln Republican Women’s Club - Patricia Kaufman, President

Lincoln Republican Women’s Club membership has reached 42, which is up 33% since January.   

We have implemented a new format at our meetings, having a “Hot Seat” for guest speakers, who move from table to table so all may get “up close and personal.”  We have focused on candidate forums since the beginning of the year.  Congressional candidates in Districts 3 and 5, Legislative candidates in District 8, Corporation commission candidates and gubernatorial candidates.

We have initiated a Junior Associate membership program for young women (TARS) and it has been nationally approved.  We donated $1000 to the TARS scholarship for their Washington DC trip.  Plans are in the works for a similar scholarship for a woman college student majoring in political science with Republican values. 

Our club secretary, Nancy Kay Arnold, author of Patriotic Pups, has been chosen to serve on the NFRW Mamie Eisenhower Literacy Program (MELP) Committee.  And her book is featured on the NFRW web site.

We have good participation of the membership for campaign hours.  Two members of the Lincoln Club attended the Day at the Legislature and four members will be attending the AzFRW Meeting in Prescott on June 18 and 19.  Contact President Patricia Kaufman patiamiam@gmail.com or 480-368-2777 for further information.

PVRWC - Palo Verde Republican Women’s Club - Barbara Randel, President

Palo Verde Republican Women’s club is focused on getting the best Republican candidates elected in November.  Towards this goal, we have hosted candidate luncheon meetings with great Republican speakers each month this year.

On May 22nd, our club hosted a very special Luncheon, "Candidates 2010 Forum", held at the Chaparral Suites Conference Center. Our festive room was patriotically decorated and the PVRW Board members wore straw-like hats with red, white, and blue emblems.

The Republican candidates were given three minutes to share information about who they were and their positions on relevant issues.   Thirty-two very qualified candidates spoke and we learned a lot about them.

Our women put together a very successful silent auction with forty great items donated and patriotic jewelry items sold.

Our PVRW club received many compliments from candidates, members, and guests.  Everyone had a very good time. For information contact President Barbara Randel at barbrandel@yahoo.com or phone 480-948-2784.

PRWC - Paradise Republican Women’s Club - Susan Kay Schultz, President

Paradise Republican Women’s Club has concluded their series of Candidates Forums.  Hundreds of guests have poured into the Gainey Ranch Golf Club (handicapped accessible) in Scottsdale to meet and discuss issues with the candidates that have been featured over the past six months.     

We continue to post invitations on candidate rallies, fundraisers and debates on our Paradise Republican Women’s Club Facebook page.  Our award-winning Web site www.prwc.org is always current with Club information and activities.   

As part of a nationwide effort by the National Federation of Republican Women the Paradise Republican Women sponsored a voter registration drive on May 14 at seven libraries throughout the Cave Creek, Phoenix and Scottsdale area. 

The Caring for America committee continues to lead us in serving our community. Our newest project was Diapers Galore & More.  In conjunction with the Arizona National Guard State Family Programs, Paradise Republican Woman held a baby shower on April 24 for expectant moms whose husbands are currently deployed.  The event was warmly received, successful and attracted television and radio coverage.  Another baby shower is planned for November.

Throughout the year we support the UMOM New Day Centers.  On Friday, March 5, Club members gathered for an outing and toured the facility in Phoenix.  Our involvement in this project sets a high standard for all organizations that are committed to charitable works.  We have remained loyal for more than five years and as the need becomes greater; our gifts become even more meaningful. 

Each year the Club helps finance the trip for the Arizona TARS students that attend the Annual Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. with a $1,000 contribution.
