A Message from our President, Roseann Slonsky-Breault

CFRW Northern Division covers 37 counties from Monterey to the Oregon Border with 56 clubs and over 4,000 members. We continue to grow our clubs by reaching out to all Republican women and building a strong presence in our communities. Our clubs hold monthly meetings with informed speakers to help educate, empower, and embolden our members. We hold a Northern Division Spring and Fall Conference with prominent speakers and educational workshops and also a January Leadership Workshop.

Our number one goal this year is to win the 2012 election. We must win, it is not an option, this is an election for the future of our country! One person does make a difference because working together we can accomplish so much. Join a Federated club in your area and help us elect our Republican candidates on the local, state and national levels. Working together as Republican women we will make history and we will win back our country so we can continue to pass on our freedoms and the American Dream to our children and generations to come. Republican Women Leading the Way!
