FEDERATION PROFILE

Established in 1944, the New Hampshire Federation consists of eight clubs (see below). NHFRW members are proud of New Hampshire being First In The Nation and are working with our Republican leaders to ensure we remain so. As First In The Nation, all clubs and members are busy hosting and introducing potential presidential candidates visiting the Granite State to our residents.

NHFRW is proud of hosting the Lilac Luncheon for more than 50 years. This annual event attracts prominent figures as guest speakers and receives national coverage.

Community outreach is a major part of each club's agenda. Members have collected school supplies for Afghani children, worked in soup kitchens, volunteered at hospice, worked with middle schools to introduce various career opportunities and supported our troops in Iraq in numerous ways.
