Letter from Club President,

Community Give Back & Guest Speaker

Letter from Club President

This year has certainly thrown us a curve ball, but that hasn't stopped our club from growing and giving back to our communities. During this time we've had Zoom meetings and held our first in-person meeting last week since COVID-19 started. We've gained more members, hosted two guest speakers, endorsed a candidate and held a PB&J Drive. We've also received some very generous donations, thank you!

Our club is growing because people are ready for change in New York. People are ready for leaders to be strong, stand up and fight for what is right. Change doesn't happen from sitting on the sidelines.

I'm grateful to be part of the National Federation of Republican Women's (NFRW) Membership committee. We're growing nationwide. Many women are stepping up and leading in their schools, towns, cities, states and our nation. These are NFRW members who are members in their local & state Republican clubs. They are Strong GOP Women who have integrity and fight harder when necessary. I'm so proud of the women in our club for taking time to give back to our communities. 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 - PB&J Drive

We got this great idea from the Erie County Federation of Republican Women and just had to do it too!

The Republican Women’s Club of Columbia and Rensselaer Counties wishes to thank everyone for donations made to our Peanut Butter & Jelly Drive which was held on June 27, 2020. Thanks to your generous donations of jellies, jams, peanut butter and fluff, we were able to deliver over 100 jars to both the Hope 7 Food Pantry in Troy (Rensselaer County) and the Valatie Food Pantry (Columbia County). We look forward to continuing our community efforts in both Counties.

Our next community event will be this fall for several local charities. Follow our Facebook page for more information. 100% of donations go towards community efforts and can be made to the RWCCRCNY at: https://www.paypal.me/RWCCRCNY

Guest Speaker & Endorsed Candidate Liz Joy For Congress, NY20

We are very proud to endorse Liz Joy for New York in the 20th Congressional District which includes all of Albany & Schenectady Counties and parts of Montgomery, Saratoga & Rensselaer Counties.

Her opponent Paul Tonko, an establishment politician since 1976, hasn't been seen much since the start of COVID-19. It's about time we have someone in Congress with our values that represents us and our interests in Washington DC.

Please help us spread the word throughout the 20th Congressional District because Liz will fight for us all.

It all adds up! A local business, Bottle and Can Depot is collecting cans and donating 100% to us! Just mention our club and they'll tally it up. We'll donate 100% back into our community initiatives.

Thank you for supporting us and you can still donate at: https://www.paypal.me/RWCCRCNY
