Local Program Planning
Join us to plan our local and national programs for 2012-13 on Sunday, Feb. 5, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Linda Lissauer’s, 18575 Parkland Drive.
At the LWV-SH local program planning meeting held last February, we suggested that our local positions be updated to better align with current city departments; that the city’s online recreation site be more user-friendly and technically savvy; that officials from the schools, city and library hold joint open meetings to discuss issues they have in common (money, in particular); and that the composition of citizen committees expand to include new faces (and therefore new ideas).
