On Sunday October 23, 2022, LWVNCC will participate in the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Agains Breast Cancer Rolling Walk at Bellevue State Park.

Join in!  Walk, dance, watch, or man our LWV information table. We'll wear matching shirts (pictured above) and honor the many breast cancer survivors among our LWVNCC membership with special ribbons or pins. Shirts will also be available for public purchase at our Oct 6 guest bartender fundraiser at the BBC.

More information about the walk can be found here: Making Strides Delaware Rolling Walk. The walk will begin with a rolling start between 8:30 am and 10:30 am, meaning you can begin to walk at any point during that time period. Registration will open at 8:30 am. A stage show, live entertainment, food trucks, and more will happen throughout the duration of the event.

We will also need people to staff an LWV voter information table at the event; please let Patti Christopher know if you'd like to participate in that way.
