Bill Snyder, who will represent the North Lyon County Fire District’s request for a 5 cent tax increase on the November ballot, will be the guest speaker for the next meeting of the Fernley Republican Women at the Fernley High School Library, 1300 Highway 95A, on Oct. 16.

A light meal will be served at 6 p.m. and the meeting will start promptly at 6:30 p.m.

Snyder was raised in Lyon County and graduated from Fernley High School. He started his career as a volunteer in Central Lyon County Fire District in 2000, worked as a seasonal firefighter for the Nevada Division of Forestry and has worked for North Lyon County Fire District for the last 14 years.

The FRW’s Caring for America/Adopt-a-Soldier Program collects non-perishable foods for the Fernley Food Bank, along with donations of funds and care items for their adopted soldiers. The soldiers need single serving food items, personal care items and, most especially, cards and letters from home. The Literacy Committee collects new children’s books for the Ronald McDonald House and Renown Hospital’s Children’s Ward. 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.
