Republican women to hold annual scholarship fundraiser

FALLBROOK – Each year the Fallbrook Republican Women Federated (FRWF) proudly selects deserving scholarship recipients based on an essay contest.

The essay question was “What the U.S. Constitution Means to Me” and the recipients were selected by a scholarship committee.

First place recipient Tessa Fieri will read her essay at the organization’s scholarship fundraiser and fashion show and accept a check in the amount of $1,000. Her essay will be sent to the next round of competition at the county level.

The FRWF is also honored to announce the second and third place recipients, Joellen Banks and Brittney Anne Zelasco, who will receive checks in the amount of $750 and $500, respectively.

One goal of the FRWF is to promote education and the scholarship fundraiser and fashion show is the primary way in which it supports local scholarships.

The theme for this year’s event is “Color Me Beautiful” and fashions will be provided by local consultants with “Jockey - Person to Person.” Opportunity drawings for gift baskets from community and member donations are also available.

The event and luncheon will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, April 11, at Vista Valley Country Club. Tickets are $45. All are welcome. To RSVP, send name and check to FRWF P.O. Box 1328, Fallbrook, CA 92088, by April 1.
