Gaston County Republican Women

2026 New Year & New Leadership…

Gaston County Republican Women

Join us at our next meeting

March 19, 2026 | 6 PM social
6:30 PM Meeting

For many years, Gaston County Republican Women have proudly supported the Gaston County GOP’s Lincoln Reagan Douglass Dinner.

This photo captures a meaningful moment in our shared history, bringing together approximately nine past GCRW Presidents, along with our current President, Dot Cherry. Their leadership and service helped build the strong working relationships our organizations value today.

GCRW has long believed in supporting Republican efforts across Gaston County, and we remain proud of the women whose dedication and teamwork have strengthened our Party over the years.

New Leadership 2026

We are excited to welcome our newly elected officers:

President: Dot Cherry
Vice President: Linda Anthony
Secretary: Christy Barnes
Treasurer: Bonnie Jansen

Our meetings are a great opportunity to reconnect after the holidays, meet our new board, and hear about plans for the year ahead. Whether you are a long-time member or attending for the first time, you are warmly invited to join us.

We look forward to seeing you and starting the new year together.
