🐘🇺🇸👩‍💼 "Two of the objectives of the club are promoting education and knowledge of Republican values... We also invite and welcome Republican candidates to our meetings and... are able to ask questions and get to know the candidate on a more personal basis,” stated Diane Rhonemus, President of the Clinton County Republican Women’s Club (CCRWC).

Diane grew up on a farm in northwestern Ohio and met her husband, a Clinton County native, in a 'Singles in Agriculture' group that met in Columbus, Ohio. They married in 1990 and have been in Clinton County ever since.

When Diane’s neighbor asked if she would serve on the Clinton County Republican Central Committee, Diane accepted and later connected with the CCRWC to staff the Republican's booth at the Clinton County Fair. From there, she eventually became president of the CCRWC and is currently serving for the sixth year.

The CCRWC that exists today was formed to combine several smaller Republican Women Clubs throughout the county into one larger group; however, variations of the group have been meeting throughout the county for over 66 years. Their focus has always been engaging with the community for the greater good, educating others on Republican ideals, and empowering women to become candidates for political office.

The CCRWC hosts meeting on the second Monday of each month at 7pm in the Robert Moyer Community Room of the Wilmington City Building. In addition to the monthly meetings, members also operate the Republican booth at the fair, run raffles at Republican county events, host an annual chili cook-off, award the Lois Allen Scholarship to high school students, celebrate with an annual Christmas party, and more. The club hopes to host more fundraising events in the future to raise money for their $1,000 scholarships.

Primary voting members pay $15 annual dues and associate members pay $5 annual dues; however, meetings are free to the public.
