    Report my Hours!

Who should report?
  • All women for whom CLRW is your primary club should report hours.
  • If your spouse is an Associate member, his hours should also be reported. 
  • If your spouse is not an associate member, we cannot use his hours. If he is politically active, please consider adding him to your membership!
  • For men who are Associate members of our club (independent of a spouse), your hours should also be reported if you consider CLRW to be your primary club, especially if you are a candidate or office holder!
Why is it important to report my hours?
Volunteer hours measure the influence of Republican Women in the election process. Our hours are reported upstream to the Texas Federation of Republican Women and the National Federation of Republican Women. Frequently, we are recognized for the high number of hours we spend working for Republican causes (including the elections). This enhances our ability to attract quality speakers to our meetings and encourages the participation of public officials at our functions.

And, we are very competitive. We like to win prizes at the state and national level for our efforts! There are prizes offered for the clubs and for the members with the most hours.
How do I track and report my hours?
Many members use a paper calendar/planner and write their hours down every day, then add them up at the end of the month.  Others track their time via an app on their phone.
