Schools are back in session and that means Voter Services School Teams hit the ground as well. Washburn had three great events that provided us opportunities to interact with young voters. We even made it to WIBW news on National Voter Registration Day (read the new story) when we worked with Loud Light and the Shawnee County Election Office to check voter registration and offer registration to others.
High school presentations also commenced in September for Topeka High, Topeka West and Highland Park. Soon to follow in October we’ll see students at Washburn Rural, Silver Lake, Seaman and Shawnee Heights. It takes a team to make these presentations possible. Thanks to Gretchen Gleue, Connie Jacobson, Mark Galbraith, Jeanne Vawter and Robin Sweeney. We are looking for a volunteer or two to help Jeanne on October 9 (Washburn Rural) and the 13th (Seaman). She needs a person to assist who would feel comfortable running the slide show while she presents. If this sounds like something you could do, let me know and I’ll get more details for you. You can send me an email here.
This is not the time to give up on our democracy but to keep pushing forward educating and encouraging others to become informed and let their voice be heard through their vote. Thanks so much.
