President's Letter

Fall is here and with it, elections! With state legislature seats being contested this year, our Candidates’ Night Forum should be quite interesting. Whether it’s tax policy, public utility issues, transportation, education – the candidates will be there to answer your questions during the debate and for a half hour of mingling before and after the forum.

The League’s 2010-2011 season started off with something a bit different – a lunch and interactive discussion. Feedback on this event was good, as it gave us all an opportunity to engage more directly with each other and with the topic. Rest assured, we will continue to host our traditional public forums, but do look for more variety in our program format in the months ahead.

There is much going on in our town, and we encourage our members to stay informed and engaged. Thank you to those members who sat in on the Town Center Planning Group meetings this summer, and to Helen Campbell, who has agreed to serve as the leader of an Observer Corps, a formal way of designating League attention to the process.

We welcome your ideas and involvement in the League’s activities. Some members simply want to support us by paying dues and staying tuned to the information we provide, and we appreciate and value that interest. For those who are looking for a deeper level of engagement, please let us know, so that we can help you get more involved.

Regards,

Jane Himmel
