- 1st Community Collection Day
- 1st Annual Turkey Gobbler
- Fundraiser for Kyle Van De Water for Congress with guest speaker Assemblyman Chris Tague
-
Phone calls for Georgia GOP Senators Kelly Loeffler & David Perdue
- Online petition push for Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett

- Our final upcoming event is a free breakfast for Veterans
I call on you to stand up, speak out & stay strong. Consider being part of this great group of women who with faith in God, empower each other to make a difference in our schools, towns, county, state and country all for our children's future. We are #StrongNYGOPWomen.
Strong Women support other Women! Remember to Like & Share on Social Media, spread the word and we will grow. Thank you for your support!
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

1st Annual Turkey Gobbler Day |
|
On Saturday, November 21 we gathered to make Turkey Gobbler sandwiches for the community and raise funds for a free Veterans breakfast in December. Over 100 sandwiches were sold and included oven-roasted turkey, homemade stuffing, mayo, cranberry sauce and gravy on a bun. The club also took many orders for Thanksgiving pies and cheesecakes made by club members.
Thank you Hannaford, Shop Rite, Four Brothers Restaurant and Chris’ Café for your generous support and donations for a successful day!
From the beginning, our club goal has been to Thank Veterans for their service and Support when in need. We’ve purchased meals, household items and food. We advocate for after-care support for Veterans and their families when returning from service.

Guest Speaker Jeannine Mannarino |
|
 |
We were honored to have Jeannine Mannarino as our guest speaker in November. She shared the work they're doing with Patriot Hills New York to develop a facility for returning Veterans and their families during transition either back into their old life or a new one. This new facility would allow for families to reconnect, transition, reintegrate and receive therapeutic healing. When our service members come home it's important they have what they need to heal. Doing a project like this can come with challenges and road blocks. We advocate for this new facility to assist our Veterans and their families. Please help us spread the word.
On the U.S. Marines 245th birthday, we were blessed to celebrate with our club member who served Melissa Heusdens. Also with us was our friend Christine Benedict, Vice Chair of the National Federation of Republican Women Armed Forces Committee.

2021 RWCCRCNY Scholarship
We are excited to share will be awarding our first annual RWCCRNY Scholarship for 2021!
This award will given to a young lady from both a school chosen in Columbia and Rensselaer counties. She will be selected based on her attributes including but not limited to: service above self, a hard worker with a hustle drive, but not for GPA perfection, both inside and outside the classroom, always looking out for her fellow classmates with a desire to help others and patriotism. She will be selected by faculty, coaches or guidance counselor.
As a club that is built on the foundation of promoting and making more women leaders in our community, this is an excellent outreach opportunity and a chance to get our club some recognition as a natural byproduct. We are so proud to be spearheading this new endeavor that furthers our vision and mission and hope to expand our community involvement in the future.
More information to follow on this. If you'd like to support this club community initiative, please donate at paypal.me/RWCCRCNY.

It is definitely the year of the Republican woman! America's 117th Congress!
We are strong Republican women supporting each other in our communities, running for political office and making a difference by caring for America. Message us or email us at RWCCRCNY@gmail.com
We've said it before, but we're so proud of Nicole Malliotakis for beating Max Rose. That's a huge win for New Yorkers and women. She represents #ny11 and all women! She stands up for Conservatives, Republicans and everyone in this fight against Socialism. #StrongNYGOPWomen

We did it ladies!! In a 52-48 vote, Senate Confirmed Amy Coney Barrett To The Supreme Court. NFRW President Ann Schockett was LIVE at the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court ahead of the Senate confirmation vote and represented us all. Many of us enlisted in the "Amy Army" to advocate for this and push an online petition. We made waves ladies. |
