President’s Pen – May 2023
I recently attended the memorial service of a TFRW member near and dear to many, Beryl Dowd. It was a touching service full of wonderful memories shared by several TFRW members.

As Beryl did, we each need to embody TFRW’s purpose by actively supporting Republican candidates, encouraging Republican women to run for office, training women to become effective...
President’s Pen – April 2023

Welcome 2023!
My excitement continues to build as I look forward to all we have planned in 2023! Our focus is shifting from electing our candidates to legislation, growing our membership, raising awareness of TFRW, building our leaders, and preparing for our October TFRW Convention and the September NFRW Convention.
We kicked off our 2023 programs early in December when Vanessa LaFranco, NFRW 1st Vice President, presented four extraordinary membership workshops on Zoom. Vanessa presented tools that, when applied, could benefit any...
