Established in 1969, our purpose then is the same today --
- to bring together those with a common interest in the Republican Party,
- to promote Republican values and candidates, and
- to provide opportunities for women to serve our local community, city, state, and nation.
Our club is known for being a friendly club, welcoming new guests and potential members with open arms. We encourage our members and guests to share ideas and volunteer a little (or a lot) of their time and talent to committees and activities in which they are most interested.

CARING FOR AMERICA: Our guest speaker will be a Gold Star Family.
Gold Star Family Terry and Beth Burgess live each day in the hope of honoring their son, SSG. Bryan A. Burgess, who lost his life in 2011 while serving in Afghanistan. They wish to honor him in such a way that he would be as proud of them as they are of him. On their journey, the Burgesses have learned about the lack of support for Gold Star parents. This path led them to the mission of helping other Gold Star families learn about the resources available to share their stories and honor their own fallen heroes. Terry and Beth have created their own registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization Gold Star Parents Retreat, which provides a cost-free weekend retreat to any Gold Star parent. This unique retreat is for healing, connecting, love and understanding. For sharing memories of sons and daughters. To never forget their sacrifice. The Burgesses live in Fort Worth and have traveled the country sharing their story and information about their weekend retreats. They have also been guests on the Today Show. Terry will be bringing copies of his book, When Our Blue Star Turned Gold. It educates the reader on the families left behind when their hero pays the ultimate price for freedom. This is a 501(c)(3) organization so donations are tax deductible. Provide cash or check. |
We usually meet on the first Wednesday of each month, unless it coincides with a holiday, moving it to the second Wednesday. We also host other lunches and evening events throughout the year.
