Matheson Museum Partnership Voices & Votes Exhibit in brown/yellow text over historic womens march image in background

Our league has an unprecedented opportunity to partner with the Matheson Museum in an exhibit titled “Voices and Votes”. The exhibit will occur this spring and summer. We will be helping with the exhibit and promoting it to various groups such as students and minority groups. We will be registering voters and helping people to make a voting plan. This is really exciting and will be a lot of fun. If you want to join the team, info [at] lwv-alachua.org (contact Janice).
