Editor's MessageAs members of the Fernley Republican Women you will be on the frontlines of building relationships with candidates in the 2026 elections.
As Campaign Committee Chair, Vida Keller has scheduled candidate forums and debates to be held at our meetings. She could use a few volunteers to help her on this committee. Let her know if you are willing to donate a few hours of your time. In 2026 we will also continue to work diligently to meet the objectives of this organization which are to increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government through political education and active political participation; support objectives and policies of both the Nevada and National Federations of Republican Women; foster loyalty to the Republican Party and to promote its principles; work for the election of Republican Party nominees; and select topics which interest the organization and focus on legislation to interact with our elected officials within the state and nation. To accomplish these objectives, we need volunteers to join or chair at least one of our committees. A description of duties and responsibilities can be found in the Handbook distributed to each member and updated each March. We need the participation of ALL of our members. I am certain you will find at least one committee that fits your interests, talents and abilities. None of the committees require a huge commitment of time and most require only one or two meetings per year. Just a few of our committees are featured below. If you are not currently a member of the Fernley Republican Women and are just checking us out, come to a meeting and see for yourself what we are all about. National Federation of Republican Women Achievement Award 2024-2025Once again, Fernley Republican Women have received the Diamond Award, the National Federation of Republican Women's (NFRW) highest award for all we have done to further the Republican cause over the two-year period. Pictured below are the award and certificate presented at the NFRW's 2025 biennial conference in Orlando, Florida.
Americanism Committee - 2025The Fernley Republican Women (FRW) is committed to fostering Americanism and Literacy in the local schools. As part of our Americanism program, pocket size Constitutions are given to fifth grade students in two middle schools. This year (2025) we delivered 120 copies to Yerington Middle School and 350 copies to Fernley Intermediate School. The Constitutions are delivered in the month of September because our own Constitution was fully signed on September 17, 1787, and is now celebrated as Constitution Day.
Pictured below in the first photo are Patricia de la Cuesta, Americanism Committee chair; Scott Gillespie, Yerington Middle School; and Terri Reaves, FRW member. In the second photo are Ms. de la Cuesta and Blake Cooper, Fernley Intermediate School. Armed Forces/Homeland SecurityFernley Republican Women collect "wish list" items for the Veterans Guest House in Reno. Items include fresh fruits and vegetables, food staples, personal care products, socks and gloves and money. The Veterans Guest House provides family members a free place to stay while the veterans are receiving medical care in a Reno hospital. Pictured below is Facility Manager Lori Brown receiving $186.22 in food and snacks on April 21, 2026. Cash donations are also made to the Nevada Veterans Coalition and volunteers assist at the Memorial Day and Wreaths Across America ceremonies.
