In June, 2015 the Texas Federation of Republican Women (“TFRW”) made a call to a few local Republican women seeking the startup of a new TFRW club in the downtown Fort Worth vicinity. What started as nothing more than an idea has now grown into the largest TFRW club in Senate District 10 and one of its Pioneers elected District Director.
One of the first “after hours” clubs in TFRW, Cowtown Republican Women (“CRW”) meets on the first Monday of the Month (except holidays) at Times Ten Cellars.
It is known for its innovative style of “speed speakers” and promises that its members will hear from a minimum of 35 speakers a year in meetings that never last more than 1 hour.
CRW is committed to acknowledging the differences and passions Republicans may have within the party while celebrating core Republican principles. CRW works hard for Republican candidates and has set a goal of 3000 annual volunteer hours in election years and increasing its individual members’ involvement at the precinct chair level all the way to the ballot.
