New Member Orientation Meetings

We hold orientations for members and guests regularly, to give an overview of the League's history, mission, procedures, and current priorities, and to discuss ways you can get involved. If you have recently joined LWVDV, if you would like to come as a guest to learn about the League, or if you are a member who wants to get more involved, we hope you will attend! 

Member Orientations are held twice each month, on the following days:
  • 2nd Tuesday, 7-8 pm, Zoom only
  • 3rd Saturday, 9:30-10:30 am, Zoom and in-person at the Walnut Creek library
