LWVSFC Annual Program Planning Meeting
February 9, 10-12 noon, via Zoom
All Members Invited!

This year we are considering how our priorities align with the national Campaign to Make Democracy Work which includes focusing on expanding voting access, fighting voter suppression, money in politics and redistricting.

Review our local as well as national positions for any proposed changes and use this Program Proposal Form to propose a study. To see all of the local positions and the LWVUS positions, click on Positions.

This annual activity is at the heart of who we are as a League, so please plan to attend and participate.

Happy New Year 2022!
After 18 months of Zooming, we decided to have our Holiday Party in person this year---and a very merry time it was, featuring caroling with pianist Margi Coxwell, storytelling with Mary Ellen Gonzales,
and hospitality by the Pecos Trail Inn!
Thanks to all who worked to make his happen, and to all who gathered. 
May the new year bring us together more often!
We're Still Welcoming Donations!
