Lakewood Republican Women is one of the largest Republican women's groups in Washington State. Our mission is to educate women in the political process, motivate them to get involved in that process to elect Republicans and to reach out to the community where there is a need. Our monthly luncheon meetings at the lovely Oakbrook Country Club have programs planned with renowned speakers, panel discussions and forums that are educational and entertaining. Membership is open to all women who believe in Republican philosophy and live in Pierce County. All members are encouraged to use their special talents and energies to complete our objectives.
I invite you to contact us with any questions and please join us at our next event. I am sure you will find us warm, welcoming and worth your investment of time.
