To explain our mission and upcoming events to the community, the LWVTA, led by President Pamela Thornton, had a lively meet and greet on Saturday, January 4th, at the Chado Tearoom, Torrance.   

It began with a fun get-to-know you icebreaker. 

Standing with President Pamela Thornton are the icebreaker champions: Emma Simmons, Gloria Gutierrez., Elizabeth Pino and Susan Reedquist.
