Fall Kickoff Meeting Sept. 15 at new Hobbs Hall; speaker
will share the good and not-so-good information
about the evolution of elections
All members are encouraged to attend the annual Fall Kickoff Meeting of the League of Women Voters of Kent to get the new
program year off to a great start, hear the latest about upcoming events, meet new members and catch up with current members. The event is set for Thursday, Sept. 15, starting with a potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. The event is free. The location is the new Hobbs Hall at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent, 228 Gougler Ave., Kent.
Members have the option of bringing a dinner item or dessert to share. Beverages will be provided. Please bring your own reusable or recyclable place setting. We may have LWV Kent mess kits on sale!
Following a welcome and announcements, President Debbie Barber will introduce our speaker: educator and Kent City Councilman Jack Amrhein. His talk, “Controversial Presidential Elections: Been Happening for Years,” will illustrate that conflict is not new when it comes to electing presidents.
Amrhein is a graduate of Kent State University with a degree in social studies and a minor in secondary education. He received his master’s degree in instruction in 2003 from Marygrove College. Amrhein worked as a social studies teacher in the Kent City Schools for 32 years. He has served on Kent City Council and the Kent Board of Health since 2008. Amrhein has served on the board of trustees of the Kent Historical Society for the past 28 years, the last nine as president of the board.
