Join your fellow Leaguers at the Local and National Program Planning meeting on Saturday, January 21. We will discuss local and national policy positions and decide what to recommend to our Board. At the local level we will review positions on the Library, Land Use, and Housing, and any recent action taken on them. Please review the positions in your 2011 Annual Meeting Kit.

Happy New Year! As 2012 begins, many of us are moving forward with new plans and renewed resolve. Join the League on January 21 for the Program Planning review. January also brings a fun opportunity to volunteer for History Day and to join other supporters of the Choices Coalition at the Choices Breakfast.
Choices Coalition Breakfast on January 27, 2012
December 11, 2011
The keynote speaker will be Felicia Brown-Williams, Regional Director of Public Policy, Planned Parenthood Southeast (Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia). Felicia will relate how Mississippi came from behind in the polls and defeated Initiative 26, which would have amended the state constitution to establish legal "personhood" at the moment of fertilization. Passage of this initiative would have changed reproductive health care as we know it.
Civic Contribution Award Honorees Announced!
December 11, 2011
Mark your calendars for our State of the Community Luncheon, which will be April 20, 2012 at the Adorni Center. This year's Civic Contribution Award honorees will be Paul Nicholson and North Coast Stand Down. Paul has been recognized nationally by the E911 Institute for his decade of volunteer efforts teaching schoolchildren how to call 911 in the event of an emergency. The North Coast Stand Down annually brings together hundreds of volunteers over a three day period to provide a range of services for veterans, including job placement, health care and more. Watch for details in our March Voter. We won’t be mailing paper invitations this year. Your energetic committee, chaired by Maggie Flemming, is hard at work planning another great celebration of our community!
