About
Who we are
And two became one!
No, this is not a wedding announcement; rather it's the exciting announcement of
the merging of two Republican Women Clubs! Lee Republican Women's Club
and the Republican Women of Cape Coral Federated are now
Lee Republican Women Cape Coral and are chartered with the Republican Party of
Florida.
Both clubs began with a small group of women (Lee Republican Women's Club
with 10/Republican Women of Cape Coral Federated with 11) who wanted to
become involved at the grassroots level to encourage Republican women to
become involved in local, state and national issues, promote the election to office
of qualified Republican candidates, promote an informed electorate through
political education, foster loyalty to the Republican Party and provide leadership
opportunities for Republican women through club membership.
Initially, both clubs met in members living rooms and grew to the point; they had
to meet in local venues. Originally chartered through the Florida Federation of
Republican Women, Lee Republican Women's Club then became chartered by the
Republican Party of Florida in April 2008. Republican Women of Cape Coral
Federated were chartered by the National and Florida Federations of Republican
Women in April 2016.
Recognizing the growth of Republican clubs in Lee County, especially the growth
in Cape Coral, the leadership of both clubs met and discussed the merging of the
two clubs. Those discussions resulted in the membership of both clubs voting to
become one.
Our common beginnings and goals being the same, it is with pleasure we ask you
to join us in assisting the election of qualified Republican candidates, encouraging
our fellow Republican women to get involved in local, state and national issues
and educating our fellow citizens.
