President’s Message
April and May are fun League months. I’ve had the opportunity to attend several local League annual meetings, and it fascinates me how each League has its own personality. The highlight of each meeting for me is the President’s report, which usually recounts the League’s accomplishments of the year. Of course, many of these past year’s accomplishments were in the area of voter service. And impressive these accomplishments were. But I’m amazed at how many educational meetings for the public were sponsored by Leagues, or fun League get-togethers were organized, or trips taken or meetings held. It’s all very impressive.
Even as we look back on recent accomplishments, we are looking forward to making future plans. Gathering at our Convention in Western Maryland is going to be exciting. We will discuss, debate and adopt studies and a budget, of course. But it’s also an opportunity to welcome two new local Leagues to our family, to hear Congressman Bartlett speak with us about energy, hear an update on the LWVUS Immigration Study – to spur us to activity - and to just plain have fun. I’m particularly looking forward to hearing Janeen Grohsmeyer and several of her tech-savvy cohorts lead us in a workshop about our new web and email capabilities. If you’ve found yourself confused or befuddled by our new technology, you will come to appreciate the “Janeen of endless patience.”
I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at Rocky Gap. |
