Letter from Club President
We've had a very successful last couple months. Since our fist meeting, we've become chartered, gained new members, hosted several guest speakers, started a team project and held our first fundraiser! This is the beginning of many things together for our communities.
Each new membership is a positive step in the right direction. All of our members contribute something different to our club and we can't do it without all of us working together as a team. I value your ideas and your hard work.
I'm honored to have been selected to serve on the National Federation of Republican Women's Membership committee. I've learned many things about recruitment and shared some ideas too. We'll discuss this more at our next meeting in May, I look forward to hearing your ideas.
Republican Women support other Women! Remember to Like & Share on Social Media, spread the word and we will grow. Thank you for your constant support!

First Fundraising Lesson:
You want something sold, give it to a kid to sell! These young future leaders did a great job selling desserts to attendees at our Soup-er!

We are blessed to have a Veteran in our club and are honored she spends her time with us! Our first event this past weekend was a "soup-er" success for Veterans, specifically the Capital District Patriot Flight, Inc. We held a 50/50 for them, and the winner donated the winnings back to them. The bar at Chandler-Young Veterans Association where we held the event, matched bar purchases and donated to the Patriot Flight too. Veterans participated in our event and offered to work the sign-in table. We had over 20 crockpots with chili, soups and stews. Our members also donated cups, spoons, sides and toppings. We had generous donations from businesses throughout our two counties. We made a nice profit for future group initiatives.
