WHEREAS, Members of Northwood Republican Women have played an | ||
active and vital role in their community for nearly 40 years; and | ||
WHEREAS, Founded in 1972, NRW now boasts 175 members who | ||

support and elect Republican candidates and to promote the ideals | ||
and principles of the Republican Party; and | ||
WHEREAS, The NRW's community outreach includes helping | ||
children aging out of the foster care system by supporting the | ||
Transition Resource Action Center; the group also donates books to | ||
elementary school libraries and annually awards a scholarship to a | ||
Texas college to a young woman in the Dallas area; and | ||
WHEREAS, In addition, the group contributes to the Intrepid | ||
Fallen Heroes Fund, which supports the Center for the Intrepid | ||
rehabilitation center in San Antonio; members of NRW clip food | ||

WHEREAS, Affiliated with the National Federation of | ||
Republican Women and the Texas Federation of Republican Women, NRW | ||

WHEREAS, Under the leadership of current president Laurie | ||
Schacherer and past president Carolee Blumin, members of Northwood | ||
