The President’s Perspective
Vicki Arnett, Chapter President
November is the month for all 182 members to pay annual dues. Please renew your dues and consider adding $19 to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the19th Amendment. Checks should be made out to LWVTSC and sent to Theresa Kiernan, Treasurer, 3620 SW York Way, Topeka, KS 66604. Or you may pay online. Support our great work together.
We appreciate the hard work of our voter services co-chairs, Leslie Prentice and Mary Galligan, all of our community volunteers who registered voters during food distributions, high school classes, wrote post cards, made phone calls and walked door to door to distribute voter information. Although the numbers are not yet certified by the Secretary of State, Shawnee County experienced record turn out in the 2020 general election. We are now preparing for the next election. As my mother used to say, “no rest for the weary and the righteous don’t need any.” This is truly righteous work.

- Voters Services/Citizen Education: We present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues.
- Action/Advocacy: We are also nonpartisan; but after study we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.
