On Wednesday, January 18, the League of Women Voters of the Mid-Shore (LWVMS) (Caroline, Talbot, and Dorchester Counties) is meeting at Talbot County Free Library in Easton, from 11:30-1:30, to discuss the future of the organization in 2017-18. Mary Whitehead, Margaret Young, Linda Makosky and Mary-Beth Goll will lead a round table discussion. In addition LWVMS Convener, Pat Comella and LWV of Maryland state officers will participate. Lunch will be provided and all interested persons are invited.
In a country with sharp divisions of political opinions, the League of Women Voters, a non-partisan group —exists to serve everyone. While probably best known for its Voters Guide and candidate forums, LWV Mid-Shore—open to men, too—is a grass roots organization with many interests at local, state and national levels. Its mission statement “…encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues and influences public policy through education and advocacy”.
Where can someone concerned about important issues such as land use, education, mental health, rental housing, and water quality, study, discuss, and advocate? Answer: at a LWV Mid-Shore meeting. LWVMS has studied and taken action for these and other concerns. For questions or to reserve a place at the Jan. 18 meeting, please contact Margaret Young at 410-745-5396.
