A note from our Co-Presidents  Barbara Lanning & Nicolette Springer after this busy election season:

We encourage you to take the next few weeks to spend some time with your family. Join us for our Annual Holiday Party ((details & registration here) on December 15th. Enjoy the holidays and you can even Shop for Cause with LWVOC on December 9 but when the new year comes around, we need your help to continue our fight defending democracy in our state. Our strength as a League is in our membership.  Join Now or Renew Membership 
 
This month, as you prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends, take a moment to think about the work of the LWVOC – and consider a financial investment to increase the work of registering, educating and empowering voters in Orange County.  We need your help to fight for the next generation of voters. That’s why we hope you will make a gift today.

A special thanks to our Voter Services committee, our Government committee, our Transportation committee, and especially to our volunteer poll workers. We had over 50 volunteers working at the polls ensuring that voters could seamlessly cast their vote. Shown above, a few snapshots from Election Day: 
#1 Precinct #527 (top) League members Nancy Nix, Alicia Homrich, Judi Sanborn, Kathy Schmitz, Louise Thompson and Jennifer Adams; also, included are William Ortiz and Deborah Bardonnex appointed by the SOE.
#2 Precinct #202 (middle) League members Christina Burton, Savannah Burton, Denise Burton, Virginia Meany, Kathy Sheerin, Leslie Becker, Dede Caron, Terry Osborne

*Please note that volunteer Lee Rambeau-Kemp was inadvertently left off the "Feed Our Pollworkers" volunteer list in our MEMBERS email.  Our apologies and our thanks for all your help.
