You are not required nor expected to give testimony.  Here is a list of meetings in  Mason County  with date and times:  observer_crop_public_meeting directory pdf

 

• If you attend in person, please wear your League badge to show the League's interest in the board or commission’s work and its outcomes. Bring your badge and observer form with you. If you do not have either, a volunteer will have extra badges and forms available before the meeting and will collect completed forms afterward.  
• If you attend via Zoom, identify yourself as a League member by adding "LWVMC" after your name in your Zoom window. 

After the meeting, please fill out this form and email it to lwvmasoncountywa [at] gmail.com  observer_corp_report.pdf
