‘Get Acquainted‘ at League of Women Voters

League of Women Voters of Marion (LWVM) will host a Wine and Cheese social meeting Thursday, September 9, 5:30 p.m. in the United Way Conference Room, Suite 100, 125 Executive Drive (old Social Security Building). Although all League meetings are open to the public, LWVM is extending a special invitation to anyone who has a special interest in League’s work, or would like to learn more about League, or are interested in becoming a member.

A brief presentation that features A Fast Facts Look at League of Women Voters, will provide basic information about National, State and Marion’s local League. Guests will receive a folder with League informational materials.

To add to the festivities, 3 special historical milestones will be acknowledged: the 90th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave to women the right to vote after a 70 year struggle with this issue; the 90th anniversary of the founding of the League of Women Voters of the United States; and the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the League of Women Voters of Marion.

League is a politically non-partisan group that encourages people to become informed and active participants in government at all levels - local, state, and national. The League is best known for the unbiased information it provides the public on political issues and candidates at election times.

League also works with communities to increase understanding of major public policy issues and to influence public policy through education and advocacy.

Membership in League is open to all men and women of voting age. For information call Jo Ann Radwin-Zimmerman, VP Administration at 740-389-5795
