"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman." -- Virginia Woolf

From the President—

It has been almost 50 years ago, after the pace of a national election that two beautiful ladies had a vision about starting a club for Republican women. Mrs. A.K. Rhodes and Mrs. Tom Leatherwood, Jr. were emphatic about the “keep plugging” approach. “The campaign pointed up that more and more women are interested in politics and we want to keep the interest alive,” Mrs. Rhdes said. Thus, the Shelby County League of Republican Women’s Club was organized and the name was later changed to Shelby County Republican Women’s Club. Mrs. Leatherwood was the first year president. “Our immediate goal is to increase the membership and provide a good educational program at each monthly meeting,” Mrs. Leatherwood said. Last week, we were saddened by the death of one of the founders Mrs. T.F. Leatherwood, mother of Tom Leatherwood. Fifty years later, the immediate goals for the club remain the same. The membership this year has increased by 50-60 new members! Thanks to Commissioner elect Heidi Shafer, we always have an educational and informative program. Come join us on September 14th at the Germantown Country Club and hear a great and informative program on CONSOLIDATION. See you at the meeting!
