Structure and Organizational Activity
Presently there are 22 Unit Clubs in Wisconsin with approximately 1400 members. The WFRW provides volunteers for local campaigns, and as the educational arm of the Republican Party, instructs its members in campaign techniques for use in electing Republicans to public office.

The WFRW newsletter, [The Stampede], recognizes the activities of the WFRW and the local Unit Clubs and honors members who have achieved distinction in service to their community and country.

Two major State Board Meetings are held each year providing the membership with rich discussion of public issues and political techniques. Local Unit Clubs hold monthly meetings as a forum to educate their members, sponsor fund raising events and assist county Republican organizations in campaign activities.

WFRW conventions are held biennially in odd-numbered years, and that year's Fall Board Meeting is always held in conjunction with the convention. As outlined in WFRW's Bylaws, Unit Club Presidents as well as the Executive Committee and Standing and Special Committee Chairmen are expected to attend. Guests are always welcome and encouraged to attend.
Traditionally, women have been responsible for maintaining the integrity of the family unit and passing on to future generations the values of civilization. In a time of changing cultural attitudes that shape and fix the character of the people, we believe we have a moral as well as a political responsibility to preserve and protect our form of government, which was created to govern a nation of free people. The WFRW was established to educate its members to enable them to fulfill those responsibilities.
