PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Aloha to all our wonderful members! I appreciate each and every one of you for renewing your membership with the San Ramon Valley Republican Women Federated Club for what promises to be an amazing year…kicking off with President Trump’s triumphant return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and celebrating our Club’s 75th Anniversary!!
Your Board is hard at work, engaging informative speakers to keep our membership informed and knowledgeable on current topics. We are pursuing alternate meeting formats to attract new members who may not be able to attend a luncheon.
I am looking forward to serving as your President this year.

FEBRUARY 25th MEETING - Robert Herzog - California Insurance Provider

Robert has over 40 years of experience writing insurance policies in the state of California. He will provide an insightful presentation on the status of insurance in the state of California, specifically how your rates may be affected by the recent Eaton and Palisades Fires in Southern California. We have asked him to review questions you should ask your current insurance providers to verify your coverage and any action we should take with our elected officials.

NFRW WESTERN CONFERENCE RECAP
Julie Mobley, SRVRWF Secretary, and myself attended the NFRW Western Conference last month in Westlake, CA. We flew into the Burbank Airport while viewing two towering plumes of smoke from the Eaton and Palisades Fires. The devastation already visible from the plane was heartbreaking. It was eerie to be in Westlake Village, just a ridge or two west from two major fires and have clear, blue skies overhead. Karen Newton, the NFRW Conference Hostess, was on top of the fires and worked with hotel staff to verify that our conference was still a go and all of us traveling from across the country would have events to attend. The hotel and businesses welcomed us and were grateful for our patronage.
The conference itself was an amazing time to be encouraged by fellow Republican women from across our great country. Everyone was ecstatic with the mandate given to Trump in November and the upcoming Inauguration. We heard from Julie Harris - NFRW President, Jessica Patterson - CA GOP Chairwoman, Nick Adams - FLAG, and Steve Hilton - Fox News to name a few. We also received leadership training from Leadership Institute, Heather Sellers and two of her staff.
The big draw for NFRW Western Conference was the docent lead tour of the Reagan Library and catered lunch under Air Force One on Friday, January 8th. Unfortunately due to the fires in the area, the power had been shut off to the area surrounding the library and our tour was cancelled. NFRW members are always looking for ways to serve in the community, so we took up a donation and delivered supplies and expressed our sincere gratitude to local fire fighters that afternoon.
