The VFRW and it's Federation Clubs are proud participants in the Mamie Eisenhower Library Project (MELP)!

History

In 1961 the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) established the Mamie Eisenhower Library Project (MELP).  This memorial honoring a former First Lady is another public service of the NFRW.  The Project asks NFRW local clubs and members to donate books and videos that reflect Republican philosophy, present outstanding Republican personalities or have historical significance to local public libraries or school libraries.

What to do prior to donating a book

Prior to donating a book you should consult with the local librarian or the recipient regarding your selection.  This will avoid duplication and confirm the book, tape or video is desired.  If your local unit wishes to donate a book not on this list, please contact the NFRW MELP chair or the NFRW president for approval. 

Participation Recognition

Participation in this project is recognized by the NFRW Achievement Awards program.

Where can I get the MELP bookplates?

Click here for a copy of the NFRW MELP bookplate distribution policy.  If you have any questions contact the Virginia state MELP chairmen Anne Farmer (Chairman), the NFRW MELP Chairman Carol Meny or MELP Vice Chair Cecilia Sanaie.  It is important that you include the bookplate prior to the presentation.  The plate will list your unit name and state Federation, and will identify if the item is given "in memory of" or "in honor of."

This project fosters Republican philosophy and ideas through the donation of related books to libraries, schools, hospitals and other institutions.
