STARTING IN MARCH…
NEW SCHEDULE FOR EVENING UNIT
The Board has been exploring new ways to accommodate those of you who can only participate in evening Unit Meetings. We know that some have found the 5:30 hour of the Wednesday evening unit in Louisville is still too early. The evening Unit meets at LA Asian Bistro, 480 West Dahlia Street, Louisville.
We have polled the regular participants in that Unit, and several have said that ordering and eating dinner during the meeting is distracting – but they do enjoy dining together. So, starting in March the Wednesday evening unit in Louisville will meet on the following schedule:
—6:15 p.m. order dinner and eat together in the private dining room
—7:00-8:30 p.m. League Unit meeting
Although you may arrive at 7:00 and participate in the meeting only, we hope that most will support the restaurant by ordering dinner.
PLAN TO BECOME INVOLVED
Through the decades the advocacy of the League of Women Voters has impacted the passing of significant legislation. Programs recently adopted by our National League are centered on Health Care: to prepare members and communities to do health care advocacy; Global Climate
Change: education and advocacy to promote solutions to related issues; and Election Procedures: a study of the feasibility of a National Popular Vote Compact among states as a method of electing a president.
As our 2008–2009 League year begins, plan to become involved.
Attend League events to become informed and ready to advocate for change in public policy. Encourage fellow League members to come, too. Invite friends and colleagues to attend events. Invite them to JOIN the League of Women Voters of Boulder County!
