(As submitted by Wood County Republican Women’s Club)
After seven years “off-line,” a historic Republican women’s club in Ohio has been re-chartered by the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW).
Originally active from 1935-2009, Wood County Republican Women’s Club was re-chartered in July with 13 members. Beverley Hirzel of Walbridge will lead the club as president this year. Club members meet the third Wednesday of the month at various locations.
“The NFRW is pleased to welcome this club into our nationwide network of grassroots leaders,” NFRW President Carrie Almond said. “We look forward to working with Beverley and club members to promote Republican principles and elect Republican candidates during this 2016 election cycle and beyond.”
Annual club dues are $30. These dues also cover membership in the NFRW and in the Ohio Federation of Republican Women. The club was reorganized this year with the goal of mentoring and educating Republican women voters and fostering greater unity within the party. For additional membership information or other details, contact Hirzel at njoyeachday1@sbcglobal.net.
Founded in 1938, the NFRW has thousands of active members in local clubs across the nation, making it one of the largest women’s political organizations in the country. The grassroots organization works to promote the principles and objectives of the Republican Party, elect Republican candidates, inform the public through political education and activity, and increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government.
