Red Coat Day 2013
Our GFRW Red Coat Day was a smashing success! The bus overflowed into cars and even a van provided by the Greater Fayette Republican Women’s Club (KUDOS Ladies!). Make sure you check out the video below to see all of the fun!
Red Coats flooded the Governor’s mansion where we met with Sandra Deal, First Lady of Georgia. There could not have been more Southern hospitality than displayed by the First Lady with a private tour and history of the Governor’s Mansion. Flash bulbs of cameras went flashing as she graciously posed with everyone followed by refreshments in the press room.
From the Governor’s Mansion the bus tour whisked us away to the State Capitol for a photo op on the rotunda stairs and a meeting with Senators Judson Hill and Renee Unterman. Then away the crowd went to the Agricultural Building where a wonderful lunch was prepared by Mary Mac’s Tea Room and where we listened to several State Representatives.
The ladies then worked their way to the Judicial Building where we sat in the Supreme Court Chambers and listened to three of the judges as well as our State Attorney General, Sam Olens.
The day was topped off with a ride back on the bus to the Swan Coach House for High Tea. The company and food was amazing and the perfect ending to a perfect day.

GOP Birthday Bash Countdown Begins
Please join us in celebrating the 158th Birthday of the Republican Party. The GFRW will be counting down the next 20 days with fun factoids, things to do and just some good party fun. Some come on in to our GOP Birthday Bash and get in on the fun!
The Republican Party began as a truly grassroots movement very similar to the Tea Parties now sweeping the nation. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things – that’s what created the GOP. For example, at the famous meeting on March 20, 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin that named the party “Republican”, there were no politicians at all, just fifty-three men and women who took a stand. The first Republican state convention, in Jackson, Michigan, was attended by thousands of farmers and labors and small businessmen. From the grassroots upward, that’s the Republican Party at its best.
Happy Birthday Republican Party!
(HQ) denotes the location where most, if not all, of the important functions of the The Republican Women of Cherokee County’s (RWCC) organization are coordinated and what the new facility has been named.
In December 2011 the RWCC board agreed to open a headquarters in Woodstock, GA during the 2012 election season. After researching several available locations, a prime, highly visible office of 4000 sq. ft was selected. The headquarters space offers a “One Stop Shop” for our candidates and the public. Available campaign material to voters, voter registration, candidate message center, two board rooms, large meeting/training room, 32 cubicles for a phone bank area, kitchen and a child play area for our volunteers with little ones.
The Republican Women of Cherokee County partnered with the Cherokee County Teen Republicans as well as the Grassroots Conservatives of Cherokee County. All three Republican organizations involved in (HQ) are working diligently to remove the current resident of the White House.
Operating hours: Thursday thru Saturday, 1-6 and extended hours will take effect later in the election process.
Be visible, Be available, take your message to the Voters, “Republican Women lead in Cherokee County with a “One Stop Shop!”

GFRW Winter 2012 Board Meeting a Success
Being an election year makes it a serious matter when the ladies of the Georgia Federation of Republican Women (GFRW) get together all under one roof. But it didn’t come without some fun! After a day of workshops and meetings on Friday, there was a Reagan Club Reception along with a Mardi Gras Party held at the Alpharetta Marriott in Alpharetta, GA. Purple, green and gold were abound and the women celebrated with dinner and dancing.
The official Board of Directors Meeting, held on Saturday, was very productive. New GFRW President Rose Wing called the meeting to order where the GFRW approved a new logo, the 2012 budget and chartered two new clubs (Polk and Harrelson counties) by Immediate Past President Suzi Voyles. The guest speaker for the event was Heath Garret, attorney and Political Strategist who talked about political macro trends.
Upon adjournment of the meeting, everyone made way to the luncheon where Georgia Republican Party Chair Sue Everhart was the keynote speaker. Everhart addressed the need for more women in politics and how women were the key to the success of campaigns in Georgia. Guest speakers such as Congressman Phil Gingrey, Presidential Candidate’s daughter Jackie Gingrich Cushman, The Kitchen Cabinet founder Sonja Eddings Brown and political activist KCarl Smith all spoke before the crowd that poured into the hallway.

New Club Forms in Polk County
GFRW President Suzi Voyles spoke to the newly formed Federated Republican Women of Polk County in early August. The ladies really enjoyed hearing Suzi speak. These ladies are motivated, energized and ready to get to work.
“We have the great RW group in Floyd under Elaine Watson who has been responsible for the formation of Haralson and Polk,” commented GFRW President Suzi Voyles. ”They were also strongly encouraged by Nancy Hollingshed. Wow! Teamwork at it’s best. The Committee to oust Obama gains momentum.”
We now have more great women to follow a great leader in our mission to take back America! With Suzie’s “one for all, and all for one” dedicated leadership we can do it! Thanks Suzi for your leadership and all the hard work you do for GFRW.
