Hello League Leaders, Members and Friends,

We’ve got work to do.

United States Census 2020

Starting on March 12, households will receive a postcard in the mail inviting them to fill out the census online for the first time ever. The Census is only nine questions, will take about ten minutes, and will impact us for the next ten years. You can be invaluable to ensure everyone will be counted where they live on April 1, 2020.

Thanks to a great team of petition circulators and speakers, in 2019 we returned 60+ petitions with  more than 500 signatures. I set our League goal at 1,000 signatures. We have almost 3 more months and I think we can reach this number.

100 years later, women still power the vote through their management of campaigns for candidates and ballot measures, and by successfully campaigning to become elected officials themselves. In our county, we can be proud of the number of women in leadership roles.
