Americanism & Games Day Project

ó Encourages showing strong love of country and all it stands for to promote the spirit of patriotism locally and throughout our state and county.

ó Presents American Flags to local community organizations.

 ó Annually provides copies of the U. S. Constitution to all fifth grade students in Kerr County.

Caring for America

ó It is our goal to encourage all members to reach out to our community to make our county and nation the best that it can be and show that Republican Women “Do Care”!

We have three projects this year for the Caring for America Committee:

1. Care Packages for our Troops:  We purchase, sort, pack and mail the packages to the men and women of our Armed Forces. We mail such items as, to mention just a few: baby wipes, nail scrub brushes, eye drops, crossword puzzle books, magazines, bubble gum, sunflower seeds, cheese crackers, hand warmers (winter only), Q-tips, foot powder, Frisbees, and playing cards.

2. Habitat for Humanity: Six times a year, on Saturday, we feed the Habitat for Humanity workers. That number can range from 10 to 25 people. We form six committees, with four to five ladies on each committee. This way we all get to enjoy the project and the workers.

3. VA Hospital Project:  Ladies volunteer to serve at the VA Hospital in Kerrville through the South Texas Veterans Health Care System Voluntary Service. As each member’s time permits, they visit patients, help the nurses by running errands and help make the Veteran as comfortable as possible.

Literacy

 ó Donates books for the Barbara Bush Literacy Library   Project (BBLLP) and the Mamie Eisenhower Library  Project (MELP).

ó Provides third grade students in Kerr County with their own personal dictionary.

Outreach Education

 ó Assists in the recruitment of young Republican students in high school and college to encourage them to volunteer at Republican Headquarters and for Republican candidate’s campaigns.

ó Promotes Republican history, philosophy, and values to groups and organizations in our community.

Scholarships

 ó We support the TFRW State Award and the NFRW Dorothy Andrews Kabis Memorial Internship, National Pathfinder Scholarship and Betty Rendel Scholarship.

ó At the local level we annually present the Theda Schlieter Scholarship to a member of RWKC seeking to further her education by taking continuing education courses in various fields of endeavor or being enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate school program.
