Republican Volunteer of the Year Promotes Membership Drive

The April Republican of the Year event at the Ingomar Club brought recognition to Colleen Hedrick, President of Humboldt Republican Women Federated (HRWF) when she was named Republican Volunteer of the Year.

Hedrick, currently in her second term of office, cited the strength, capabilities, and ―drop of a hat support of the club‘s membership as essential to the success of the organization. She said the organization is in initial stages of membership enrollment and aiming to maintain its position as one of the top two clubs in California in its member count which typically exceeds 250 members.

The club ̳s emphasis on members ̳ consistent pursuit of functioning as activists by contacting those in government to question, protest, and sometimes to praise goes along with the organization ̳s primary purpose to keep members informed, Hedrick said. Educational purposes extended to the community through the purchase of books for fifth and eighth grade classrooms and for school libraries. Further community services include food drives, collections for local women‘s shelters, donations to the military, phone banks to get out the vote, informative programs, and presentation of candidates. Hedrick said ,―These actions were among those that brought the club the Diamond Award which is the highest award given to a Republican Women‘s Club.

Club goals named by Hedrick include the establishment of a scholarship program, a visitation project for care homes, helping the formation of a Southern Humboldt Republican Women‘s Club, and continuing community outreach. She added that the club will welcome registered Republicans and those who wish to be registered as new members of the club. Annual dues are $30. Interested persons may call Terry Roberts, 599-3255. Debbie Walker, 441-1126. or Colleen Hedrick, 268-0101.
