Suites. Friday is Board Meeting and Saturday is conference. The

Club Presidents, please remember it is
your responsibility to make sure all your members get a copy of the
Fall Conference invitation that is mailed to you.
Marilyn Clark is asking, if your club
brings a basket for the fund raising, that you call her with the value,
what is in it, and the theme of the basket (Fall, Christmas, Halloween,
or ??). Fall is always a great time for baskets with the different
holidays coming up.
You may register for the conference on

The Ohio Federation of Republican Women
held their summer Board meeting recently. We are so happy that all of
our post cards for the Justice Lanzinger and Justice O’Connor campaigns
are in the mail to the Club Presidents all over Ohio. Presidents, these
are to be given to all your club members. The members are to sign them,
add a line if they wish, put a stamp on them and send them to
their neighbors, family and friends. We need to really thank our office
secretary Helen Hall for a huge job of counting them all, putting them
in boxes and sending them out.Thank you Helen!!

your club president and want to receive information being sent by
OFRW, you need to call or email the OFRW office. For the
office's email address and phone number click HERE (or click on the "Contact"
