League of Women Voters

Dear League Members,

We see some tiny signs of spring (snowdrops are budding in my yard!) and we are heading into April. That means a lot of things – putting away the snow shovel, getting out the bike and baseball glove (or insert your favorite sign of spring here). In the League year, April means it is almost time for our LWV Northfield- Cannon Falls Annual Meeting. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday morning, April 27,

LWVNCF, in collaboration with Carleton Alums, are showing a documentary on Carleton honorary degree holder Rosalie Wahl -- in the Weitz Center for Creativity, 320 3rd Street East, on April 27 (Saturday) at 11 am.

The LWVNCF Annual Meeting will take place April 27 at the Weitz Center for Creativity, 320 3rd Street East, on the Carleton College campus.

All LWV members are welcome to attend the LWVMN biennial convention!

When? May 18-19

Where? Schwann Center in Blaine, Minnesota

Some of you may recall that St. Olaf student Monzong Cha assisted with voter education activities last fall as an intern, under the guidance of Stephanie Ennis. Monzong previously was a LOTT (Leaders of Today and Tomorrow) Fellow with LWVMN.

At the April LWVNCF Annual Meeting, we will propose a small increase in membership dues. It’s been several years since the dues have increased. We will continue to have various ways to be members, including as an individual, family, sustaining member, student, and/or as a member on a fixed or limited income.

This is my last e-catalyst, as I will be stepping off the board later this month.

As you may know, this past year has seen the e-catalyst take on a new electronic form. I appreciate your patience as I have made the change. It's been an adventure; I know it hasn't been perfect, but I think the change is a positive one and that the new editor will take it to a new level!

This is the last month of service for this board; several will continue, and new members will be chosen in April.
