The Republican Womens Club of Lakeland has a long and proud history of receiving top awards on local, state and national levels.  That could not be accomplished without the coordination and hard work of this committee.  In addition to ensuring that our programs cover a variety of subjects, this committee is also charged with recording the hours and dollars that our membership contribute to out communities in the field of political service.

Email your information periodically to one of the Co-Chairs.  Simply estimate your hours, give a brief description, and send it off!  It takes very little time for you to do - and it helps to measure the impact that you, our members, have on the political process!
