2026 TFRW Tribute to Women

Donna M. Kwiatkowski has been an exceptional asset to the Fort Bend Republican Women’s Club through her leadership, innovation, and unwavering willingness to serve. Since joining the club, she has served as both a committee volunteer and a board member, bringing a rare combination of organization, hospitality, and technical skills that has strengthened daily operations and enriched the member’s experience.

Donna has modernized the way the club tracks and maintains records of volunteer hours, creating a more accurate and efficient process for reporting to TFRW. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence has streamlined an important function of the club while ensuring that members’ service is properly documented and recognized.

Her enthusiasm for conservative causes is evident not only in her leadership, but also in her personal example. Donna has devoted many hours to phone-banking for statewide candidates, demonstrating her strong commitment to advancing Republican principles and supporting those who serve.

She also produces a weekly flash email highlighting volunteer opportunities for members to support local candidates and initiatives. This regular communication keeps members informed, engaged, and connected to meaningful ways they can make a difference in the community.

In addition, Donna has established strong protocols for welcoming guests, helping create a friendly, organized, and inviting atmosphere at meetings and events. She is also known for being quick to help others navigate digital platforms, offering patient guidance and practical solutions whenever needed. Donna’s dedication, leadership, and servant heart have made her truly invaluable to our local club.

Presidents Message

Lois Gremminger
President 2026
Summer

This month our theme is Red, White and Bloom. It is such a catchy phrase, but it also has a deeper meaning. We are all used to hearing red, white, and blue: red standing for hardiness and valor, white for integrity and sincerity, and blue for perseverance in keeping justice.
          These colors are often used to stand for American patriotism, freedom, and the sacrifices made by our military to protect those freedoms.
          This theme is a meaningful one for our club. The red is easy to connect to the Republican Party — R for Red, Republican. While the association of party colors has changed over time and can mean different things in different countries, for us red can also serve as a reminder of the values we hold dear: faith, freedom, and family. We are the party that stands to defend our democratic republic.
Our club also has a 50-year history of defending America’s freedoms and always treating others with respect. The First Ladies of our club were the ones who created the first Fort Bend County Lincoln-Reagan Dinner.
          White, in our theme, reminds us of the integrity, kindness, and sincerity we want to reflect as a club. It speaks to the spirit in which we welcome others, build friendships, and encourage people from all backgrounds to get to know one another on a personal basis.
And then there is Bloom. Bloom reminds us that we are always looking for ways to open hearts, spread knowledge, and help others grow. We want our club to bloom by sharing information, building relationships, and inviting others to join us so that we can grow together.
          In the Bible, we hear in Matthew 13:3–23 and Luke 8:4–15 the parable of the Sower planting seed in different soils. The seed planted in good soil stands for the one who hears, understands, and perseveres, and it grows into a great harvest. The seed planted in rocky or hardened soil may grow for a little while, but it ultimately withers. As a club, we want to be planting in good soil — sowing seeds of faith, friendship, knowledge, and service that can truly grow.
          When I took office, I shared three wishes for my term. First, I hoped for a 100% renewal rate plus a 10% increase in membership. Second, I wanted to create a social network night so we could bring in new members while also getting to know one another better. This would also help us identify women who are prepared and willing to lead. Third, I wanted to update the club’s bylaws, so they align with the new Texas Federation of Republican Women bylaws, keeping us in compliance with the state and national federations and defining our club more clearly.
          I am proud to announce that the Fort Bend Republican Women’s Club has begun a social network night so that we may all get to know each other better. A big thank you to Cherie Young, who has volunteered to chair this effort for our club. Please keep an eye out for the day and time on our website and on the club’s Facebook page.
          It also pleases me to share that Kim Icenhower, the club’s Immediate Past President, has volunteered to chair the bylaw review and update our club’s bylaws. These updates will be presented to the membership later in the process. There is still much work to be done before it can move to the board for approval and then to the club members.
          My final wish is that the Republican women we meet — past, present, and future — will consider joining the Fort Bend Republican Women’s Club by going to the website and clicking the link to join, or by filling out a membership form and giving it to Donna Kwiatkowski.
          I know we are all pulled in many directions with work, home responsibilities, church, and nonprofit commitments. But we can each do one thing to help our country preserve its freedoms, protect our families, and uphold our right to worship freely.
We can help our country bloom, one flower at a time.
          There are so many benefits to being involved: information from our legislative chair, informative speakers, candidate forums, literacy programs, scholarship programs, support for the military, and supporting Fort Bend County candidates financially. Individually, we can make a difference in our own lives, but collectively, we can make a difference in our community.
          Please pray about joining our club, and we hope to see you again as a member. We are truly grateful for your presence and for the chance to share with you the heart of our club. We hope today has shown you, in word and action, not only what we do, but who we are — women committed to faith, friendship, service, and growth.
          Those that are members, we are so excited that you continue to be a member of our club. We pray you will consider becoming more involved by serving on the board or chair a committee. Our club has voted to elect the following people as our nomination committee: Kim Icenhower, Marie Moffett, Traci Bennett, Kim Lybarger and Tina Gibson. Please consider reaching out to one of them for more information.

May we all be encouraged to bloom where we are planted and to keep sowing seeds of faith, freedom, friendship, and service to the Republican Party.
