FEDERATION HISTORY

In July 1946, Miss Marion Martin, then assistant chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Elizabeth Farrington, wife of Congressman Joe Farrington, visited Hawaii for the purpose of setting up clubs on all of the islands. With the help of Mrs. Bina Mossman, National Committeewoman, the clubs met all requirements for affiliation with NFRW in September 1947. The clubs in the Hawaii Federation continue to be active, both in politics and in community service, particularly the Barbara Bush Literacy Action Program.
