In response to a Direction to the Board at the Annual Meeting asking for more evening meetings, the International Relations Committee has scheduled this evening session. It will be only the second such meeting, and the program will reflect suggestions made at the first meeting. But surely the discussion of what the group would like to do will continue - you can still be a charter member! Given the hour, light refreshment will be served. If you would like to be part of the evening committee, but can't attend this meeting, please email co-chairs Ellen Berg or Peggy Saari at info@seattlelwv.org.
