Where did February go? It’s been another busy month for us. On the 23rd, we co-sponsored the second session in the Environmental Justice series, this one on Energy Burden and a group that is studying ways to ease the inequities of burden faced by some of the lower-income neighborhoods in our community.
The Naturalization Ceremony was on the 24th and, as always, was a moving experience as we encouraged new citizens to make registering to vote one of their first acts as citizens.
As of this writing, the Unit Concurrence meeting is still a couple days away. It will be an opportunity to get educated on the proposed State positions so we can decide if we, as a Unit, will support them. And, of course, the Board and all of the committees have met and are working busily on their projects. If you are feeling the need to DO SOMETHING, check in with the chair of the committee that most interests you to see where they can use a new perspective, an extra pair of hands, or a special skill you bring to the table. There really is something for everyone in LWV, you just need to pick what most sparks your passion.
Just a reminder – the 2023 Annual State Convention is in Wichita this year, on April 22 at the Advanced Learning Library. We have a keynote speaker, a panel discussion, and break-out sessions, plus lunch. More details to follow, but please plan to attend. It should be a great day!
See you soon!
