The Republican Party of Texas Convention was quite
Board of Directors Meeting
a ride for many delegates, alternates, and guests.
The Texas Federation of Republican Women was
well represented, due in part to a challenge given
Table of Contents by Republican National Committee Woman, Toni Anne Dashiell, we had over
1,600 T.F.R.W. delegates slotted for this convention. You could feel our energy at
T.F.R.W. Represents 1 every Texas Federation of Republican Women’s event.
Congratulations! 2 Margaritas with Senoritas kicked off the weekend. Glynis Chester did a stellar
job organizing the event and Wendy Osborn executed the plan. We enjoyed
The Value of TFRW 3 legitimate tacos from Taco Vallarta and twenty-five gallons of margaritas sure
helped cool us off that afternoon.
Exciting Social Events 4
We had a record number of guests attend the Tribute to Women Luncheon.
NFRW Fall Board Meeting 4
Becky Berger dedicated countless hours preparing for this event. I want to
Very Special Guests 5 congratulate all the Tribute to Women Honorees. The best part of my position is
being able to visit with you all; being able to congratulate you with a hug at the
Honoring our Military 5 luncheon was the icing on the cake!
Women Unite! 6 Overall, Friday was a very emotional day. Besides the emotion surrounding the
chairman’s election, I was very disappointed in the behavior at convention.

flat out being rude to speakers is unacceptable behavior. It left a knot in my
stomach so much so that I considered not speaking Saturday morning. Knowing
Collect Campaign Hours 8
that 1,600 of you were delegates gave me the strength and courage to go out
Political Protocol 9 and speak as your representative on Saturday morning.
July Semiannual TEC Report 9 Moving forward (which is the only way to move) I would like us to follow our
mission, our vision, and our bylaws. We are here to elect Republicans to office,
2018 Patron Clubs 10
so that means if a Republican won a primary, he or she is our candidate and that
is who we support. Remember we want Column R to be bigger than Column D!
2018 Patrons & Associate Patrons 11
Our bylaws state that we are to support the Republican party at the national,
School Safety Action Plan 12 state, and local levels. Support means helping get Republican candidates
elected, as a team.
