WELCOME TO THE RURAL WOMEN'S REPUBLICAN CLUB
President's Greeting
Welcome to the Rural Women's Republican Club (RWRC) Web Page!! It is my very special honor and privilege to serve as President of RWRC. Come join us!! Our rural community is located in the western part of Montgomery County; we pride ourselves in the beauty of our countryside, with the many farms and beautiful view of Sugarloaf Mountain, the focal point of our area.
Our club meets the third Monday of the month at members's homes, with the exception of January, July, August and December. Our women are hard working and very passionate about their beliefs and values. We are being proactive in our quest for new faces to come join us and help us in our endeavors to elect Republicans and spread the benefits of conservatism. Not only are we passionate about our politics, we are also active in state and community organizations with monetary donations and volunteer our time.
Most important to our volunteerism is our support of our military. One lesson that this past election taught us is that too many people in this country do not understand what makes America so unique in history and so exceptional in the present time. America is EXCEPTIONAL in history and in the age in which we now live.

At the suggestion of some of our members to try to do something different, we will be having a Pot Luck Dinner, with a Dickerson Market favorite—Fried Chicken!! To add to the menu, we would ask that you bring a side dish to share. So that we order enough Fried Chicken, we will need your RSVP by Friday, September 16th. (NOTE: Fried Chicken is best when you eat it with your fingers :) ) Please RSVP by e-mail: tp.dillingham@verizon.net
We are very honored to have as our Guest Speaker: Amoretta 'Amie' Hoeber, who was recently appointed by Governor Hogan to be a member of the Montgomery County Board of Elections.
Ms. Hoeber is a member of the Board of Directors of Sumaria, Inc. and was a member of the Board of Directors of Versar, Inc., and Chairman of the Board of EAI Corporation. She was also on the Board of the House of Ruth Maryland for more than a decade and was a co-founder of CLONE, an organization that focuses on mentoring young women in the defense business, both uniformed and civilian.
Ms. Hoeber is also an artist. For the past fifteen years she has been a glassblower and for the past four years she has become a painter of acrylic abstracts. Both her glass and her acrylic paintings have been in juried shows, and she also donates some of her art pieces to charity and political auctions.
She was the Republican nominee for Congress in Maryland's Sixth Congressional District in 2016 and 2018.
Hope to see you at Poolesville Day and our first Fall Meeting!!
