About Us

The Republican Women of Yoakum Area is a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the Republican philosophy in the surrounding area, including DeWitt, Gonzales, and Lavaca Counties.

 

We raise money for our local candidates, have informative programs, and serve our community and country through various projects. Among those projects include our Education Literacy Committee's Constitutional Essay Contest for high school students- awarding prizes to the top students for their outstanding essays. 

As a member of TFRW, we hold fast to the underlying principles of the Republican Party, Government by the People, and the belief that people such as you must be an active part of the process if it is to work effectively. 

 

Our meetings start at 12:00pm on the Second Wednesday of each month, with a guest speaker and a complimentary lunch served. Freewill Donations welcomed! 

We welcome men to join our club as associate members.as well as women that are members of other RW clubs.
