President’s Perspective
August 2024
Voter education has been an integral component of the League of Women Voters for well over a century. Our members are committed to providing non-partisan materials and information whereby well-informed voters cast their ballot and fully participate in our democracy.
Please join us at various community events as members of League of Women Voters Topeka-Shawnee County disseminate materials and answer questions about how one may become a registered voter, update their voter registration if they have had a change of address, confirm their polling location, and learn about candidate’s qualifications through VOTE411.org.
To date the League has been at the Monday Farmer’s Market at TSCPL, Juneteenth Celebration, NOTO First Friday, the Collins Park July 4th parade and Fiesta Topeka. In August we will continue our efforts at the Monday TSCPL Farmer’s Market, NOTO First Friday, the Food Truck Festival, Berryton UMC National Night Out, Shepherd’s Center and Washburn University Engagement Fair. Additionally, several members have given presentations to civic organizations.
As you can see, the League members are busy. If you have not been called to volunteer your time and talent at one of these events and are interested in volunteering, please do not hesitate to contact me. Because of busy summer schedules, most shifts or events are two hours or less in duration.
Won’t you consider giving your time and talent for the benefit of our community and democracy?
