Convention season is here. This is what we look forward to every other year and WOW! Did it come really fast! I’m looking forward to the upcoming 43rd Biennial NFRW Convention in Orlando, on September 25th through the 28th. TFRW will have a total of 75 attending. One of the biggest Delegations! Last I heard, there will be approximately 1,100 NFRW members attending. I can’t wait to hear all the great speakers and to network with our state-wide sisters. Also, there...

Our 3rd Quarter Board meeting at Round Rock was wonderful. So many great leaders from clubs attended. The highlight was the presentation of the 2026-2027 TFRW Slate of Officers. Congratulations to all of them! In addition, we recognized the 40 Under 40, 2nd Cohort. Senator Ted Cruz was our guest speaker at lunch updating us on everything happening in D.C., and a very special guest, Heidi Cruz, shared a few words with us as well.

Celebrating our Independence has become a tradition for many Americans: parades, festivals, family gatherings, picnics, and...

I was honored to represent TFRW at the VEP Appreciation Conference May 3rd in Austin. The applause for TFRW gave me goosebumps hearing all the accolades for the awesome work we did during the election. We definitely made a difference and I thank all 600 VEP volunteers, and I especially thank Mary Heffernan. Your hard work turned the tides in those battle-ground states, and I can’t imagine what might have happened if we hadn’t put our whole hearts and souls...

I’m amazed how quickly this year is flying by. We’re already getting ready for conventions, both TFRW and NFRW; the 89th Legislature is still moving ahead with only a short period of time to get things done, and summer is right around the corner when many of you will be taking a hiatus for a few months. I’ve really enjoyed reading all your newsletters and am so very proud of your accomplishments. I’m concerned about a few social media posts I’ve...

Spring is here and you can see it everywhere! Bluebonnets are piercing the landscape, days are longer and warmer, and everything is budding. Our Board meeting was fabulous. We had outstanding attendance with so many staying over after Legislative Day. Thank you to NFRW 1st VP Martha Jenkins for your glowing accolades, and of course to Steve Munisteri for an excellent overview of the Governor’s agenda.
