It's already shaping up to be a vibrant holiday season, lots to do and enjoy. We certainly hope to see you and your friends at our Holiday Friendraiser - see this flier for details. Political chat, holiday cheer, savvy friends, what could be more fun!

And if you're in a giving mood, won't you please consider a tax-deductible gift to the League. Next year promises to bring us an exceptionally packed ballot, and your League will be right on top of analyzing measures and giving you the information you'll need to cast an informed vote. Your gift to the League of Women Voters Education Fund will lay the foundation for this important work.

If you are reading this newsletter, we know you care deeply about our community. As the New Year approaches, why don't you think about getting more involved as a volunteer with our organization? We always have a need for helping hands, and among our positions on traffic, land use, education, the airport, housing and meeting basic human needs, there surely is an issue you feel strongly about. The League may be just the right place for you! Contact me at Pres@lwvsantamonica.org if you want to learn more.

So, whether you want to party, give gifts or get more involved, there's room in the League of Women Voters of Santa Monica for you.

We look forward to seeing you soon - and have a joyous Holiday Season!
