Who We AreThe Santa Barbara Republican Women’s, Federated, previously Montecito Hope Ranch Republican Women’s, Federated was formed in 2000 from the merger of two of Santa Barbara County’s oldest clubs - Montecito Republican Women’s Club and Alamar Hope Ranch Republican Women Federated. It is one of several Republican Women’s Clubs that form the Santa Barbara County Republican Women Federated, which is affiliated with the State and National Federations. A portion of our dues go to these parent organizations.
We meet monthly except during July and August. We have one annual fundraiser which benefits our scholarship program. Our luncheon speakers include Republican officials, Republican political candidates and other speakers on issues that educate and motivate us. We help with voter registration, campaign precinct and getting out the vote at election times to support our Republican candidates. Join Us - Fill out the application below |
