A Federated Woman

Charlotte Mousel, a dearly loved and respected Past President of CFRW Southern Division as well as a State and National President, symbolizes, with the words that she wrote, what we, as Republican Women, respect and feel. Charlotte exemplifies the dedication and commitment of Federated Women. Charlotte dedicated her life to the Republican Party and the Federation of Republican Women. She was a leader and a compassionate mentor for thousands of Republican women and also many Republican men.

Charlotte was known for her unusual introductions of noted Republicans, among them Ronald Reagan, George Deukmijian, Pete Wilson, etc. who waited with amazement to hear what little known or perhaps forgotten event of their lives Charlotte would reveal in her unusual introductions. How she unearthed these special events of their lives no one ever discovered. The California Federation of Republican Women Southern Division's prestigious scholarship is named in honor of Mrs. Mousel. The scholarship is awarded to assist graduating seniors who demonstrate the ability to think constructively on matters affecting our government.

Federation Women give freely of their "time and treasure" to support the ideals and values of Republican traditions. Within the Federation, we continue to debate all sides of issues in a free and open forum. The history surrounding the Republican Party from its birth under the tenure of Abraham Lincoln and its growth through many of our country's greatest Presidents can be seen expressed in our activities and involvements.

In honor of Charlotte and her ideals, Southern Division Local Organizations participate yearly in a Scholarship Program for High School Students.
