Brown County Republican Women’s Club Receive Americanism Award

The Texas Federation of Republican Women named Brown County Republican Women’s Club as the recipient of the 2018 – 2019 Americanism Award. This award is given to one club in each of the four levels of membership: Jumbo, Large, Medium and Small Clubs. Out of 54 Medium Size Clubs in Texas, Brown County Republican Women’s Club were presented the award for making a difference in their community. This is the fifth time the Club has received this award.

The award was presented by Gail Teegarden, TFRW SD 24 Director during their February 2020 meeting.

Some of the projects Brown County Republican Women’s Club, in partnership with Brown County Retired Teachers, submitted were: presented Certificates of Appreciation and snacks to the fifteen (15) Fire Departments and Agencies in Brown County for the services they provide to our county; served “Ice Cream & Cookies” to Camp Bowie Training Center & 111^th Engineer Battalion Soldiers as well as Texas Forest Service Staff; provided 365 sack lunches to the 111^th Engineer Battalion, TXANG, Soldiers during their Annual Training at Camp Bowie.  The groups will be hosting this event for the 5th time in April 2020.

Clubs in the Texas Federation of Republican Women serve their communities in a variety of ways that are not necessarily political. Those projects fall under the heading of “Caring for America,” and thousands of volunteer hours every quarter are dedicated to these projects.
