TUSTIN AREA REPUBLICAN WOMEN FEDERATED
Orange County, California

The Tustin Area Republican Women Federated is located in Southern California in Orange County. Our club was founded in 1973 under the name of Ivy Baker Priest Forum. Ivy Baker Priest was the first woman treasurer of the United States, serving from 1953 to 1961.

We like to educate our members, the youth, and the public. We also host a variety of speakers at club meetings. Many of our speakers are candidates for public office. Therefore, as the election nears, we register Republicans, organize get-out-the-vote efforts, and volunteer for events.

We love to help candidates win but we also believe community service is important. We support several RWF scholarships, donate patriotic books to local schools, and participate in Youth Advocacy, a program that teaches young girls about state government. We also support the military! At each meeting, we write notes to our adopted military personnel and collect items for packages to send overseas.

Our members are great! Among our associate members are four members of our city council, our supervisor, assemblyman and state senator. Our 80 active members consist of various ages, occupations, faiths and backgrounds. We attribute some of our successes to our interaction. We like to support each other, work as a team and have fun in the process.
