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.

​FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Fernley Republican Women (FRW) is committed to fostering literacy in the community.  Each September, they participate in the National Federation of Republican Women’s Literacy Month by sponsoring literacy projects.  On September 17, 2019, Literacy Chair Peggy Gray and FRW President Lorrie Olson presented a dictionary to each 3rd grade student at Cottonwood Elementary School. Accompanied by Principal Cory Sandberg they talked about literacy in all six classrooms.   The faces of the children lit up as each received a personal copy of “The Best Dictionary for Students.” 

The FRW members also presented three books to the school librarian for the Cottonwood Elementary School library.  The books were What's Right by Patty Presnell Kinkead, Cannon the Brown Bear by Kyle McGrath and One Flag, One America by Michelle Hirstius

A few days later, we donated new children’s’ books to Renown Hospital's Children's Ward.  These books will help to educate the children and provide a distraction from their treatment.  

Fernley Republican Women is a group of women (and men as associate members) who share similar conservative values and ideals, and who are dedicated to increasing the influence and effectiveness of women in the cause of good government through political education and active political participation.
