Mamie Eisenhower Committee

 

The Mamie Eisenhower Committee is an extention to the LFRW literary program and is focused on book and video donations to school and public libraries in honor of the former First Lady. 

Instituted in the early 1960s, the Mamie Eisenhower Library Project (MELP) is the NFRW's longest running program.  Members/clubs can purchase and donate books from the NFRW MELP List (on the NFRW web site) to local schools and institutions.  Such donations promote literacy at all age levels. NFRW has formal bookplates to place in the front of each book donated so each club is recognized for its donation.

In 2012, the Mamie Eisenhower Library Project is celebrating the Centennial of Ronald Reagan.  Additions to the MELP list are made periodically and the NFRW Mamie Eisenhower Project encourages recommendations from its members.

The Mamie Eisenhower Chairman for 2011-2013 is Rose Marie Meehan of Algiers Republican Women and the Vice Chairman is Patsy Metz of Franklin Republican Women.
