After the Annual Meeting, members and friends gathered for the 12th Annual Betty Hill FORUM on International Affairs.
Annual Meeting was well
attended and
the Betty Hill FORUM was, too! Great day for LWV!
As the
minutes will show, Annual Meeting confirmed the
recommendation from
Program Planning for a Study of the Town of Weston
Charter,
and named seven (7) members willing to do research
on the study.
It was
voted to raise the LWV of Weston dues NEXT year
(for the 2012-13
period) to $50 individual, $75 family.
Other
happenings: It was noted that the
Steering Committee formula continues to work for
the Weston LWV;
discussion of the roles needed to be played to
make success at the four
(4) vital public meetings and
ideas for other months' possible programs took
place,; it was decided
to reinstitute a
"Legislative Wrap Up."
And then
there was lunch and a spectacular presentation on
"Food, Peace and
Sustainability" by Dr. Gita Rajan of Fairfield
University.
