Lake Conroe Area Republican Women was federated in January 1993 with the Texas Federation of Republican Women (TFRW) and the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW). Ten dollars of our dues is sent to these two organizations each year. We federated with 50 Charter members and our first officers were: Miriam Burton, President; Darline Hermann, 1st Vice President; Betty Miller, 2nd Vice President; Rose Marie Hall, 3rd Vice President; Carolyn Williams, Recording Secretary; Nancy Renfroe, Corresponding Secretary; and Sandi McMurry, Treasurer. Our budget was $2,865.00 and our first fundraiser consisted of members staffing a food booth at the Shell Houston Open Golf Tournament for 7 days. Four years later Shell mandated that all funds earned from the booth must go to a charity. Since we needed some of the funds for our newsletter, the club voted to have a style show, with models being elected officials and we raised $6,000+. Our budget in 1998 grew to $8,100. Our present budget is $18,000, with our fundraiser consisting of a Silent Auction, Live Auction, dinner and entertainment by local elected politicians and members.
