LWVSCDE Members: Your Input Is Needed at our Biennial all-members meeting on Saturday, May 17, from 10:30 am - 1 pm. The Biennial meeting is especially important to our work -- it's where we elect new Board Officers for the next 2-year term and vote on the 2-year budget. And as at every annual meeting, we'll plan our program for the coming year. Help us plan our strategy as we respond to the rapidly changing face of government and move toward midterms. We need a quorum of members to make these changes. Watch your email for preview materials. PS: We also plan to have a little fun, be inspired, and feel supported.
