The Pennsylvania Federation of Republican Women held its quarterly board meeting on February 9, 2013 at the Harrisburg Hilton.

The new approach to scheduling PFRW Board meetings to coincide with PAGOP seasonal meetings proved wise and worthwhile as many of our councils were able to send representation to both meetings while containing travel and hotel costs for board members.

Important actions were approved related to our headquarters.  Authorization was given to replace the water heater at the PFRW House.  Systematic upgrades are planned now that the City of Harrisburg’s antiquated steam heat system has been discontinued.  Future projects to be considered include replacement of windows, improving handicap accessibility and general reorganization to allow for a frequent use of the space.  A new copier/fax will be secured to replace the one no longer covered by service agreements

PFRW Caring for America committee continues to collect toothbrushes for soldiers on the front lines.

Legislative issues PFRW supports and encourages action upon include The series of Right To Work bills (HB50, HB51, HB52, HB53, HB 250) and changes to pre diem expense payments introduced by Rep. Dan Truitt.

The next PFRW meeting will coincide with the PAGOP Summer Meeting in Hershey on June 28-29.

All are welcome to attend.
