Club Description:

The Palos Verdes Peninsula Republican Women Federated (PVPRWF) welcomes Republican Women from all of our surrounding communities such as Palos Verdes Estates, Palos Verdes Peninsula, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, San Pedro, Torrance, Lomita, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach.

Our Members represent all ages of women with a variety of backgrounds, accomplishments and political focus. Our luncheons are engaging, and you will learn a lot from both our featured Speaker(s) and our informed Members you’ll be sitting with at your table.

We periodically host special events such as socials, candidate forums and our fun After Dark gathering.

In 2025, we are proud to announce that we will be celebrating our 65th year. With both the second Donald J. Trump Presidency underway, DOGE in full action and PVPRWF celebrating our 65 years of existence, it’s an exciting time to be a part of PVPRWF or any of the other RWF clubs in the area.
