We're Back!

We're ready for a new season.  With the other side making a complete mess of things, there's a NEW opportunity to show that Republican principles will get our country moving in the right direction.    Limited government, individual freedom and responsibility for our own well-being, free market economy, a strong National defense and Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are principles that have blessed the United States of America.  What do we have now?  A bloated government with huge deficits, fewer jobs, declining freedoms, crumbling values, a weakened military and more crushing policies to come.  Let's turn things around in 2014 by electing Republicans that honor tried-and-true principles.  With your help we can do it! 

The plans for this website will be to keep you informed about upcoming events, a calendar of sorts, with occasional commentary.  For up-to-the minute content, we suggest going to the Facebook page of the Republican Women of Wheeling Township.   Join with us and keep updated!

Club Update, Picnic and More

Greetings and Happy Summer! We hope you are beating the heat with some 'cool' activities. Republican women have been busy all year long--once petitions were filed, we were involved in helping candidates win their primaries. Following the primary in April we geared up for the annual membership luncheon with guest Congressman Joe Walsh - what a dynamo! Our members have been to CPAC in Rosemont, the state Republican convention in Tinley Park, are participating in the summer precinct canvass and continue to "man" the ROWT Headquarters over the summer. The state party has installed a Victory Center which is up and running in ROWT HQ in Wheeling Township. We need you to be part of the phone banking crew-- don't miss an opportunity to make a huge difference in the upcoming election. It is critical that we make Mr. Obama a one-term President! Phone bank hours 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday thru Saturday. Call or just stop in!

Don't forget our summer picnic this Saturday, July 21, 12 noon at the home of our club President Penny Pullen, 2004 E. Sherwood in Arlington Heights. We look forward to 'catching up' with you. Also, find out what new items the Republican women have for sale! See you soon.

Republican Women on the March!

It's not too late to join us for the annual Autumn Luncheon at Rolling Green Country Club featuring Special Guest and Speaker Hon. Robert Dold, 10th District US Congressman.  There will be a presentation of the Republican Leadership Award by our club, as well as an opportunity to thank the troops.
Call (847) 394-9355 to reserve your seat today!

Warm but Wonderful

Die-hard Republicans enjoyed the hospitality of club President and former State Rep. Penny Pullen and her sister Pam at this year's annual backyard picnic. Braving 90+ temperatures, guests arrived bearing gifts from their kitchen. The picnic feast featured abundant fruit, appetizers, salads and yummy desserts to please every palate. A big thank-you to John Keane, Joe Tragesser and Bill & Lisa Smith for superintending the grill - and to Cyndi Hower and Carolyn McIver for seizing control of the cleanup. Elected officials and candidates also joined GOP faithfuls, who settled in the air conditioning or outside in the lovely, shady yard. Among them State Rep. David Harris, State Sen. Matt Murphy, Tax Review Commissr. Dan Patlak,former congressional candidate Dr. Arie Friedman,and Wheeling Township Committeeman Ruth O'Connell. Thanks to all who attended!

Hello Patriots,

May we all take a few minutes from our cookouts, our fellowship
with family & friends & whatever we all do to celebrate the holiday,
to remember why we are celebrating the holiday.
Let's remember to pray for all those
that have served in the past,
to ask God's blessing & protection for those currently serving.
& to thank Him for our military & our great country.

Don't forget to support our military & raise your flag high.

HOME OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!

Spring is in the Air!

It's that time of year again -- mark your calendars now for this year's membership luncheon at La Zingara, Saturday, April 30th. We'll be hosting Illinois House Republican Leader Tom Cross. Think about some friends you want to invite to this event.

Dr. Arie Friedman on Obamacare

Thanks to all who came out to hear our featured speaker this month. What a great turnout! Dr. Friedman shared his knowledge on the monstrosity which lowers quality and leads to rationing of the finest healthcare around. Doctors are waking up to the regulations Obamacare imposes on their practices and some are exiting by retiring and/or finding other professions. This leaves us to wonder what kind of physicians will we have in the future. Dr. Friedman also spoke about Electronic Medical Records, Donald Berwick, bureaucratic growth, and Ezekiel Emanuel's healthcare formula.

Upcoming Meeting

The women's club will present Dr. Arie Friedman at HQ next Monday, March 14 at 7:00 pm with an update on Challenges in ObamaCare. See you there!

Baby Shower

Our women’s club hosted a “baby shower” for Caris Pregnancy Counseling Centers Monday evening, listening to Terra Vincent from Caris and contributing diapers, wipes, new baby outfits and other practical items for Caris’s “baby boutique.” It’s a caring way to help distressed expectant mothers decide to give birth to their babies.

Come to a Baby Shower!

Our club is hosting a “baby shower” Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. at HQ, featuring the community outreach manager for Caris Pregnancy Counseling Centers. Those attending the meeting are asked to bring a new infant outfit or diapers or other smallish practical gifts for Caris’s “baby boutique,” supplying needed items to expectant moms who have chosen to give birth to their babies. It’s a wonderful work, and one we want to support for our community. All are welcome to participate in this gathering.

A New Day in the House

Former State Representative and club President, Penny Pullen and Wheeling Township GOP Committeeman, Ruth O'Connell were among Illinoisans who traveled to the nation's Capitol to celebrate the Republican majority. Congressman Robert Dold was one of 5 Illinois freshmen sworn in this week. Our club is proud to have helped elect him.
