We had a great time at our annual holiday party. With all of the hard work that we do, it's always exhilarating to have a relaxed night with great potluck food, good socializing highlighted by singing the chorus to a Hannukah song led by Jan Goldberg and a wonderful Holiday gift auction.

We have joined LWV's national monthly teleconference on Gun Violence Prevention. The purpose of the teleconference is to share information on common sense gun laws with League leaders from all 50 states. The focus is on state legislation. Stay tuned for monthly updates.
At the request of LWVIL, we are participating in a project to contact Social Service agencies in our area to gather information on the impact of the budget impasse in Illinois on their services. We will use this information to lobby with our State Leaders and local legislators to work out a compromise that is long past due. Once the information is collated we will post a link to access the document on our website. Thanks to Tina Rounds for initiating the contacts.
