Spring is just around the corner and our League is making plans for meetings and activities. Our January program will be a lunchtime Zoom meeting on January 18. You received a notice and sign-up link last week for “Tips on Writing Letters to the Editor.” You can sign up here. I hope you can attend.
Other activites include Voter Registration events at the five Collin College Campuses and for new citizens. We will register at Collin College Rock the Vote on January 24 and 25th. Please sign in on our website to sign up for one of those registration events.
Don’t forget to get or renew your VDR certificate to be a Volunteer Deputy Registrar for the next two years. Call the Collin County Elections Office at 972-547-1990 to set up an appointment.
The Texas Legislature has just started its biennial 88th session, and we will be following bills and lobbying in favor of League positions on issues. Go to the LWV Texas website to see what those positions are, and stay tuned for Action Alerts from LWV Texas when we can help by sending emails automatically to our Representatives and Senators, and also writing letters to our newspapers.
Lobby Days in Austin will be February 27-28. Each League in Texas sends a delegation to Austin to earn about our Priority Issues and to visit our legislators about them. We would love to have you join us. Please contact me by February 1 if you are interested in going with our delegation.
Consider joining the Collin County League Book Club. We meet every other month on the 2nd Wednesday evening by Zoom. The discussions are always interesting and fun. Our next book will be “Where Do We Go From Here?” by Martin Luther King Jr. First published in 1966, it is still meaningful and relevant today. Got to our website to register for the March 8 meeting.
Hope to see you soon,
Janet
