The LWV of Hudson has continually been impressed with James Field, Board of Education member, who is retiring this month. Since the League's Observer Corps has observed Board of Education meetings for decades, they have noted that over the years Mr. Field has been a voice of wisdom and has kept the Board appraised of state issues regarding the effect of proposed bills on local schools. He has served on many committees and has spent countless hours at meetings and planning the Master Facility plan.

The Villages of Winnetka and Glencoe are working together to develop concept design plans for the Hubbard Woods Business District. Your help is needed to make this streetscape the best it can be!

Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman to serve as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.  During her term on the Court, she was regarded as among the most powerful women in the world. In 1981, O'Connor, who was 51, was nominated by President Ronald Reagan and confirmed unanimously by the Senate. She served for 24 years.

O’Connor was the picture of self-confidence. She was athletic, playing tennis, golf, as well as skiing and horseback riding. In the courtroom, colleagues said, “She had a piercing gaze that could turn into an intimidating stare.”
