Happy New Year! 2011-2012
Over the weekend our new Board met and created a vibrant plan for the coming 2011-2012 year. Events are listed at our website www.baltimore.lwvmd.org.
Some new initiatives are being undertaken. Later this month, in alliance with other Maryland chapters, several of our members will begin training on how to recruit and maintain membership. In September we will hold a new member orientation. The meeting will review basic League organization, purposes, and action plans. Plan to attend and bring a friend.
Other plans this year call for forums, panel discussions, election news, election polling places surveys as well as other activites that all call for dedicated volunteers. We need assistance making phone calls, visiting governmental meetings, interviewing elected officials, and more. Consider what else you can do to help make Democracy work.
