A new year has started.  Can you remember to write 2015?  For the League, this marks the half way point in a League year as each new board starts on July 1.  It was a busy first half and the second half looks to be equally as exciting.

The nominating committee is starting to look for new board members.  If you think you would like to serve contact Hannah Heineman at hannahheineman@gmail.com.  If you want to check out a board meeting first, they are always open to all members.  Call or email the League for time and location.  The new date is the 4th Monday of each month in the evening.

January 19: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration.  LWVSM will have a table in the involvement fair as usual.  Stop by and say "Hello."  This is an excellent opportunity to join the League!
