LFRW Clubs

MANDEVILLE REPUBLICAN WOMEN

In the Spring of 1984, Lane Carson, state chairman of the Reagan/Bush campaign, and DeNell Haines, a dedicated Republican woman, hosted an organizational meeting for 17 women who believed that with the current population growth of the Mandeville area, the time was right for a new Republican women’s club. Their efforts were rewarded with a tremendous response! On May 17, 1984, the Mandeville Women’s Republican Club received its charter from the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), officially establishing it as an affiliate club of both the NFRW and the Louisiana Federation of Republican Women (LFRW).

Dedicated to supporting the principles of the Republican Party and the objectives of the national and state federations, the club was determined to be a well-organized, active, and effective participant in the political arena.

The success of many community events; our accomplishments on behalf of our candidates and good government; our commitment to our community; and the continued growth and vitality of MRW are tributes to our officers and members. For more than 40 years, members of Mandeville Republican Women have been dedicated to making a difference in and for the community. Today, we celebrate our accomplishments; we honor those who believed in our mission and helped us get started; and thank those who have led us through this rewarding adventure.

We welcome the challenges that lie ahead and invite you to join us as we continue to grow and succeed. Our objectives are to:

• Inform the public through political and legislative education, training, and activities.
• Recruit, train, and elect qualified Republican candidates.
• Protect the integrity of our electoral process.
• Promote the principles, objectives, and policies of the Republican Party.
• Unite and facilitate cooperation among the state and local organizations.
• Increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government.

We meet on the first Thursday of each month (except July) at Beau Chene Country Club, 602 N Beau Chene Dr, Mandeville, LA 70471. We begin at 11:00 for a half-hour of networking before the meeting which begins at 11:30.
