April President's Letter

Dear League Members,

We’ve had a busy couple of months as we approach the end of an interesting year. First and foremost, the LWVUS has adopted its position on immigration. Please take a moment to review the immigration position on the website, lwv.org. Thanks again to all members of our league who participated in the process of coming to consensus by attending and voicing their opinion at our immigration consensus meeting.

Once again, we are assisting the town registrars in registering high school students to vote. Registration day at New Canaan High School is May 20th. If you’d like to volunteer to help register the students, please contact Janet Davis.

A committee of the board has been busy reviewing our bylaws. In the next few days, you should receive a copy of the LWVNC’s bylaws, either by email or by regular mail. The revised bylaws have been approved by the board and will be presented at our annual meeting for your approval. Changes to the bylaws have been highlighted for your convenience.

Finally, our annual meeting is just around the corner. The meeting, which will be held May 13th at the Country Club of New Canaan, will feature speaker Gina McCarthy, Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. It promises to be a very interesting program! You will receive the Call to the Annual Meeting in the mail shortly. Save the date on your calendar, send in your RSVP, and I look forward to seeing you there!

Kathryn Tohir
