April 2026

Special note: This will be the last communication for MRW members and associates who have not renewed their memberships. Beginning April 5, we will transition to our 2026 membership list, which will be used for our Directory. If you want to continue to receive our communications, attend our luncheons and be included in the Directory, you can renew here.

Dear patriot friends:

As we celebrate Holy Week ending in Easter on Sunday, we’ll experience how the darkness of the tomb is transformed into light, hope and new life.

That’s a message we can take into our lives today, as we deal with so many forces of darkness that threaten us at home and abroad.

President Trump doesn't just “manage” problems like so many of his predecessors – he tries to solve them. That sometimes entails risk, and the outcome of his actions cannot always be predicted. What’s happening now in Iran and at home disturbs many and causes anxiety. But one thing we do know: Without the strong attempt to change our nation's trajectory, America is finished, the world is a more dangerous place, and good cannot prevail. And we America First conservatives want good to prevail.

So as we celebrate this season, let’s remember that renewal doesn’t happen all at once – it requires sacrifice, faith and patience to let things unfold. God is in control, and He has his hand on our nation to succeed. Just as Easter brings new life, let's stand together behind President Trump to renew the promise of America.

May God bless you all,

Pilar

April 1 is the beginning of Passover. For Jews it is a very special holy day. And it should be for Christians as well, as it is the day Jesus was crucified. 

As Christians, we believe that He was the final perfect spotless lamb of God who died for us that we might have access to the very throne of God through Him.

And three days later, he rose from the grave on the Feast of First Fruits. He is our Lord and our Redeemer. In spite of what we see happening in this world, He is in control. And we can trust him fully to do what He has promised!

May His love, mercy and grace abound in your life. And we particularly pray for God's protection for the men and women in our military who are in harm’s way, as well as for their families.

MRW member Connie Conway is organizing and directing this wonderful fundraiser for our Club. It's an evening of your favorite Broadway songs performed by incredible professional and local talent!

Legislative minute by Kay Wildt

The 2026 Legislative Agenda for the National Federation of Republican Women (and by extension, for MRW) is to:

• MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN
• MAKE AMERICA PROSPEROUS AGAIN
• MAKE FAMILIES STRONG AGAIN
• PASS THE KEEP NINE AMENDMENT (Keep the Supreme Court at nine members.)

President Trump laid out his "America First" agenda in his State of the Union speech and in his 225 Executive Orders to Federal agencies to implement his agenda and dismantle destructive policies from the Democrat administration. He is pulling America back from the edge of the catastrophe that was the last Administration. We came so close to losing our nation with open borders and enemy nationals of military age crossing unchecked. Now our borders are secure and that intentional crisis has ended. Our President is working as quickly as he can to undo the damage that Democrat policies did to our nation.

National Federation of Republican Women President Martha Jenkins set a goal to work with President Trump and the Congress to pass legislation to ensure that his Executive Orders will become law.  America’s voters gave President Trump a mandate for change, and only through legislation can we achieve lasting change.

Update on early voting period in primaries

If you supported a candidate or helped to work the GOP greeter tent during the last primary election, you know how much of a strain it put on volunteers to have two full weeks of early voting before primary day.

The Moore County Board of Commissioners has heard you and adopted a resolution to change that. Their resolution was sent to the North Carolina General Assembly to reduce the early voting period to a total of seven days.

MRW will be encouraging other NCFRW clubs to contact their state legislators to do the same thing. This will give Senator Tom McInnis and Rep. Neal Jackson plenty of ammunition to co-sponsor the legislation when it is introduced.

Read the whole resolution here.

Election integrity project - you can help!

Introducing our new members

Welcome aboard to the following people who joined us in the past several months - we are so glad you're part of our growing organization!

April 1 luncheon features Kyshia Brassington from the RNC

Registration for this event is closed.

Reminder if you signed up to attend: We are collecting items for 7 Sparrows, an organization dedicated to helping women in need. Please bring in pantry items that are shelf-stable, including: Canned goods (vegetables, fruits, soups, beans), pasta, rice, cereals, sugar, flour, peanut butter or other non-refrigerated items.

MRW celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a lively night of Bingo! We raised some funds to help us with our political activities for the mid-terms - and raised some laughter and good spirits in the process. Thanks to everyone who attended!

At the Military Missions in Action Gala on March 14, Sandi Carl and her husband Bill were honored for their devotion to an important goal: Helping veterans and military families in need.

For the Carls, it's not just an occasional dabble in charitable work - it's a life purpose and daily commitment.

Sandi is MRW's Chair in charge of Americanism and the military - and we are honored and lucky to have her on our Board!

MRW and Sacred Heart team up for veterans

The Women of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church have a special project every year, initiated years ago by a member of MRW, Joan Ward. The church creates Easter baskets to be given to veterans in need. Because of MRW's long-time support and action related to military families, Sacred Heart reached out to MRW for help in delivering these baskets, which we have done for a number of years.

Each basket weighs around 50 pounds - and this year, there were 63 of them! Always ready to help, MRW women and men delivered them to the Veterans Office in Carthage to be distributed to needy and/or elderly veterans as they come in for assistance.

We love our veterans and are proud to partner with Sacred Heart on this project!

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of patriotism, inspiration and powerful insights at the
