A small, but important and relevant tidbit of information in the tidal wave of information to be learned at a state convention of the North Carolina Federation of Republican Women.(Your full membership in HCRW gives you access to these conventions and websites.) 

Besides learning about other clubs’ activities from around the entire state of North Carolina, we also learn from the NCFRW board the legislative focus of the club on family issue: abortion no longer allowed after 12 weeks instead of 20 weeks;  the need to keep the pressure on our legislators to save Title IX to keep biological women competing against biological women in women’s sports and School Choice.   We are also advocating for Photo IDs to vote.  We were asked to support Tricia Cotham who is being heavily attacked by the Democrats and keep our legislators in prayer as the governor called out the names of the legislators who voted on the abortion bill which isn’t ever done. 
Our speakers were NC Treasurer, Dale Folwell and A.P. Dillon from the North State Journal. NC Treasurer Folwell gave a glowing report of the financial status of our state.  He is doing a great job.  Economically we are in excellent shape. 
A.P. Dillon gave a chilling report of the number of child molestations and exploitation in our schools by school staff members. She cited the statistic that 1 in 10 children are molested or exploited by a school staff member.  She said the state needs to hire more help in prosecuting these matters.  NC has only 1 paralegal sorting through the reports.  She cited several bills in legislation now we need to support like HB 142: Protect our Students Act to increase penalties on certain sex offenses.
