Adults will join with Greenwich high school students for this intergenerational conversation.

- How much power - and what kind of power - should the federal government have over states?
Registration is free and open to members and the public.

We will have a brief business meeting in which we will pass a budget, elect new Board members, design our advocacy program for next year, and hear from Kay Maxwell, LWVCT 100th Anniversary Committee Chairperson, about the wonderful upcoming plans.
