6th March We’ve got a few important volunteer opportunities below for you to check out. Please do! I also want to bring your attention to another project that’s in the works: Communications. We are in the process of assembling a team that will cover our newsletter, our press releases, our time-sensitive emails outside of the newsletter, our webpage, and our social media (mainly Facebook and Instagram; possibly X/Twitter). Do you have ideas? We want to hear them!

7th February Don Gurney, Kathy Matusiak, and Lori Lataillade – along with scores of volunteers – have finally completed their winter high school voter registration drive. This is a monumental effort; and, if you’ve been a part of this work, you know how rewarding it is.
We’ve also completed our annual Program Meeting and our Day of Action at Walter Reed this past weekend. More information will be coming on the results of the Program Meeting in subsequent newsletters. Our Day of Action was a great event and we drew in a couple new members and some potential partners.
17th January Check out SUFFS The Musical. We need volunteers for High School Voter Registration which runs though Feburary 1. February 4 is our Annual Program Meeting and our Day of Action 2024, which is open to the public.
3rd January Happy New Year! This is a big year coming up! As we begin this challenging year together, let’s hold on to committing ourselves to simply do the next step. The next voter to register, the next public comment on Ranked Choice Voting, the next contact with an elected representative, the next idea to offer, the next opportunity to encourage our neighbors to vote…the next step forward. Bit by bit and step by step we will meet this coming year by focusing on the next task
immediately before us. There will be a lot of noise and overwhelm around us this year; take breaks and rest when you need to and remember to keep your eyes on the next step.
