The fifty-seventh (57th) Annual Meeting of the League of Women Voters of Weston, Connecticut...

IT IS A BRAVE NEW WORLD - COVID-19 HAS MADE WESTON LWV  UPGRADE AND MODERNIZE ITS COMMUNICATION METHODS!
The membership (a third of it!!!) "showed up" on our Go To Meeting "virtual" event to approve a budget, amend the bylaws to permit virtual meetings and some related matters,
discuss program and plan for the upcoming year's activities!!!

And below, a 100th Birthday Greeting from the Weston LWV to National LWV...

Previously...

WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!  AND AN APPRECIATIVE CROWD AT WESTON LIBRARY!  WHAT WILL BE THE FOCUS IN 2018?
But only now does there appear to be interest in the community for reliving protests for American women's suffrage.  Did your grandmother or great-grandmother
march for the right to vote?

THE WESTON LWV LOOKS OUTWARD
Remember Betty Hill?  http://www.lwvweston.org/bettyhillpage.html#bettyhill

It all starts here.

Many wonder how the League of Women Voters works.  Why does League differ from other organizations?

Because it follows or shadows government.  At three levels - local (sometimes regional) state and national.  In that order.

Study is required before taking action. 

Which is where "program planning" comes into play.  For example, on a local level, League can take action on its positions.

If Program Planning recommends to Annual Meeting that focus should be given to action on all or part of a local position, and Annual Meeting approves this, the
next year will be taken up with such activities as - "Forum on Demand" to Observer Corp reports to informational meetings to ACTION.  Including letters to the
editor and other means of outreach.

"MISS REPRESENTATION"

MISS Representation





We are on a mission to expose a new generation of Westonites to the excellent lessons that can be learned from League...

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of
major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
