Fernley Republican Women meet Sept. 21

The Fernley Republican Women (FRW) will hold its membership meeting on Tuesday, September 21, 2021 at the Fernley High School Library, 1300 Highway 95A, Fernley.  A light meal will be served at 6:00 p.m. and the meeting will start promptly at 6:30 p.m.

The guest speaker will be Kimber L.A. Crabtree, M.A.  who will be speaking on “Why Emotional Wellness is a Conservative Cause and Some Other Interesting Stuff”.

Crabtree has a love and passion for rural Nevada. Both sides of her family have lived in Mason and Smith Valley for a little over six generations and as all were very involved in small town Nevada politics, she could not escape being called into an interest in politics herself. She is an elected Lyon County School District Board of Trustee member. Crabtree is a recent graduate with her master’s in mental health counseling and will in the next few weeks add the credentialing of CPC, Intern to her name. She is also writing a book that she hopes to finish by Christmas.

The FRW’s Caring for America/Adopt a Soldier Program collects non-perishable foods for the Fernley Food Bank, along with donations of funds, food and supplies for the Veterans Guest House in Reno. The Literacy Committee collects new or slightly used children’s books for Bow Wow Books, an organization that teamed up with the Fernley Library. Bow Wow Reading Dogs are non-judgmental certified therapy dogs who listen to children reading aloud. The dog’s handler has been educated on how to help readers learn to read. All contributions for these important programs will be greatly appreciated. Financial contributions can be sent to the FRW at P.O. Box 412, Fernley, Nevada 89408.

Fernley Republican Women is a group of women (and men as associate members) who share similar conservative values and ideals, and who are dedicated to increasing the influence and effectiveness of women in the cause of good government through political education and active political participation.
