ARW meets the 3rd Wednesday of each month at River Oaks Catering and Event Center.

10/29/2026

What a great weekend in Metairie, Louisiana, at the Louisiana Federation of Republican Women (LFRW) Biennial Conference!

It was a weekend filled with informative meetings, great speakers, and time spent connecting with Republican women from across Louisiana. We had the opportunity to hear from several guest speakers, including Congresswoman Julia Letlow, Congressman Steve Scalise, and the National Federation of Republican Women President, Martha Jenkins.

And the fun didn't stop when the meetings ended! We took a trip back in time with a 60s, 70s, and 80s-themed night, complete with fun outfits, music, and plenty of laughs!

We are also excited to share that Acadiana Republican Women received 8 awards! We're proud of our club and grateful for the dedication of our members who continue to give their time and talents throughout the year.

A wonderful weekend of learning, fellowship, and a little fun along the way!
