Republican Women from all over West Virginia gathered together to promote, plan and prepare for the future of our great state!  Promoting conservative values is always primary for our organization and seek to work through local clubs to make a difference in our communities.  We are planning for a successful election in 2014 by getting Shelley M. Capito elected to the U.S. Senate, which will break new ground for women in that arena.  We're preparing for new officers to come on board at the federal, state and some local clubs' level to begin moving forward in leadership, communication, membership and vision.

The W.V.F.R.W. Spring Board will be hosted by Jackson County Republican Women so stay tuned to the blog for information as it becomes available.

N.F.R.W. 37th Biennial follow-up

What a wonderful weekend!  The N.F.R.W. Convention was held at the Galt House in Louisville, Kentucky September 19-22, 2013.  We had amazing speakers, great food, wonderful sightseeing, and an awesome time getting together with Republican Women from all over the country. 

This was a Convention of firsts for me, first Biennial, first trip to Louisville, first mother daughter trip with my eldest and my first horse race.   We arrived early which allowed us an extra day of sightseeing, the Memphis Belle riverboat was a treat and so was Louisville’s famed Derby Pie that was dessert.    The trolley and boutiques were excellent and the Bistro restaurant has made my list of places to eat again.  When the convention began it was nice to have so many options for training.  The Leadership seminar was worth the trip alone.  Deb Soffield, the speaking coach offered so much useful advice and was one of the most informative sessions I attended.

Opening ceremonies and the first official day’s events offered speeches from Senator Mitch McConnell, his wife former US Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, R.N.C. Co-Chair Sharon Day, psychologist Timothy Daughtry and conservative film maker and author Dinesh D’Souza.  Mr. D’Souza was especially appealing to me.  I love the American Dream and his story is such a testament to all that America has to offer. His perspective on how the liberal agenda is eroding our great nation and changing our place in history and everything he is doing personally to change that is inspiring. 

There we many break out session s where we could learn how to better our clubs and state organizations with speakers on fundraising, winning the 2014 elections, media and social networking and membership retention. 

The evening festivities at Churchill Downs were a wonderful way to meet some of the ladies from across the country.  Never having been to a horse race I was eager to place a bet (I even won, albeit 4 dollars) the banquet room was packed, Derby hats were everywhere, and there was a special N.F.R.W. race held in our honor.  It was wonderful evening of conversation and camaraderie. 

The new slate of officers was voted on the next day as well as a series of resolutions. Special presentations were made to clubs and states for outstanding achievements. There were concessions and novelties, auctions and authors, meetings and people to meet. Truly, I was so glad to be there and be a Republican Woman.
