Dear Members,
At the end of March, LWVFL announced some great news! Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker ruled that Florida’s Senate Bill 90 violates federal law, unconstitutionally impeding the right to vote for Floridians.

It is a busy time for our League. It is a busy time for our League. I hope you were able to attend our two virtual events earlier this month. It’s also time for our Annual Meeting on May 25th at 6:30 p.m., where we will pass the 2022-2023 Budget, Local Program, and elect officers.

The other good news is that League work is beginning to return to normal. Please stop by and say “hello”.
