Fernley Republican Women hosting candidate forum

The Fernley Republican Women (FRW) will hold its next meeting at the Fernley High School Library, 1300 Highway 95A, on Sept. 18.

A light meal will be served at 6 p.m. and the meeting will start promptly at 6:30 p.m. The Fernley Republican Women will present a forum that will include Republican candidates for Nevada’s Constitutional offices.

Those attending will be Matt Rosborg, representing Adam Laxalt, candidate for Governor; Michael Roberson, candidate for Lt. Governor; Barbara Cegavske (I), candidate for Secretary of State; Ron Knecht (I), candidate for Controller; and Bob Beers, candidate for Treasurer.

The public is always invited to attend the club’s meetings.

The event will give the community a chance to hear the candidates introduce themselves in their own words. The audience will have the opportunity to submit questions.

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.
