President's Message


It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Fernley Republican Women (FRW) website. Although we are a women's organization, men are invited to join as associate members. The FRW was founded in 2005 and received its charter from the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) on January 1, 2006.

During election years, the FRW presents Republican speakers, forums and political debates. These events give our community a chance to hear candidates present themselves in their own words and also give the audience the opportunity to ask questions directly. Our meetings are always open to the public and are held at the Fernley High School Library, 1300 Highway 95A in Fernley. At 6:00 p.m., we gather for a bite to eat and a little community chit-chat. Our program for the evening starts at 6:30 p.m. promptly.

The FRW is committed to electing strong Republicans to every level of public office. If you believe in personal responsibility, private sector enterprise, free speech, limited government and all the other principles upon which America was founded, we hope you will join our organization's effort to preserve these fundamental political values.

Constitution Day

Literacy Committee

The Fernley Republican Women (FRW) is committed to fostering literacy in the community and promoting Americanism in the schools.  Each September, we participate in the National Federation of Republican Women’s Literacy Month by sponsoring literacy projects.  On September 16, 2020, Literacy Chair Peggy Gray delivered dictionaries for distribution to each 3rd grade student at Cottonwood Elementary School.  She and her committee members were saddened by the inability to actually accompany school staff to talk about literacy in all the classrooms and actually see the faces of the children light  up as each receives a personal copy of “The Best Dictionary for Students.” 
We also presented books to the Cottonwood Elementary School library.  The books donated were One Flag, One America by Michelle Hirstius and Camillla Can Vote by Mary Morgan Ketchel with Senator Marsha Blackburn.  Books were also donated to Bow Wow Books, an organization that teamed up with the Fernley library.  Bow Wow Reading Dogs are nonjudgmental certified therapy dogs who listen to children reading aloud. The dogs' handlers have been educated on how to help readers learn to read.  
A few days earlier, in time for distribution on Constitution Day to their 5th grade students, FRW donated pocket constitutions to both Silver Stage Middle School and Fernley Intermediate School.  Pictured below are FRW members Peggy Gray and Judy Williams along with three students and FIS Principal Rob Jacobson; and Judy Williams with SSMS Principal Amber Taylor and School Secretary Crystal Viscarret.  The reflection in the window is Peggy Gray taking the photograph.
