Letter from Club President
This year has been full of surprises for sure! We've taken this time to grow while giving back to groups in our communities. Since our last update, we've:
- Endorsed a candidate,
- Held a Community Collection Drive for three groups,
- Delivered lawn signs for the upcoming election, and
- Hosted a huge virtual event to Back the Blue.
Next week, we're hosting a Columbia County rally for the Republican & Conservative endorsed candidate, Kyle Van De Water. In November, we'll be serving up Turkey Gobbler sandwiches, and taking orders for Thanksgiving Day pies!
We've been very busy and are a great team working together for others. Our club is growing, we're making changes, our women are leaders, they are strong and they fearlessly stand up for what is right. I'll say it again, change doesn't happen from sitting on the sidelines.
As part of the National Federation of Republican Women's (NFRW), our club has worked hard to get Judge Amy Coney Barrett confirmed by using social media, sharing a petition and spreading the word. I've worked with the NFRW Membership committee to grow clubs throughout the country. All of the states are growing because Strong GOP Women with integrity are fighting harder for their families, their cities and our country. We'd love for you to join us. Men are also welcome as Associate Members.
Strong Women support other Women! Remember to Like & Share on Social Media, spread the word and we will grow. Thank you for your support!

Community Give Back - Collection Drive |
|
This year has been difficult for everyone and we looked for groups that were most in need during this time. We chose Hope 7, Unity House and Roe-Jan Food Pantry, representing our two counties.
The Republican Women’s Club of Columbia and Rensselaer Counties wishes to thank everyone for their generous donations of clothing, non-perishables and toiletries. Our drive was held on September 19, 2020. The Roe-Jan Food pantry was pleasantly surprised with the amount of food we kept bringing in! To those who donated their beautiful suits, shoes and purses for the women at Unity House, thank you. We delivered a very large box of toiletries consisting of makeup, soaps and shampoos to Hope 7.

Guest Speaker & Endorsed Candidate Kyle Van De Water For Congress, NY19 |
|
 |
We proudly endorse Kyle Van De Water for Congress! We will stand by him and support him as he works tirelessly to meet constituents throughout the 19th Congressional District which includes all of Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan, and Ulster counties, and parts of Broome, Dutchess, Montgomery, and Rensselaer counties.
We will NOT support a write-in campaign for any candidate. We WILL work hard to ensure that ALL efforts go into supporting Kyle to oust our do-nothing Congressman Antonio Delgado. We want a Congressman that will represent his district, not just the people he meets at his rallies.
What can you do to help? Make phone calls and send emails to your friends and family, show on social media why YOU support Kyle.
Would you like to host a MEET & GREET for Kyle, contact Brittney at brittneyatkyleforcongress@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing you next Thursday at this event for Kyle!
