Saturday, April 26 New Everett Theatre All the evidence indicates that there is a major health care crisis in the United States, one that will only become worse as costs spiral upward and access and effectiveness decrease. In light of these problems, the League of Women Voters of Washington has taken a position in support of a universal health care system. In the spirit of this position, we offer our forum as a way to involve the public in examining our present state, the kind of health care system we want and need, and the actions needed to attain it. | ||

While much of the daily work of the League of Women Voters of Seattle is performed by members of committees or the Board or by a small cadre of other volunteers, every member has a responsibility—every year—to shape the future of League. We are a grassroots organization; members decide what issues we will focus on and what actions we take. Your attendance at the annual meeting is vital to the health of our organization. Please attend. Five percent of the membership is the required quorum but attendance at the highest level possible helps to forge a League that speaks for all of us. | ||
Background materials are now available online.

Membership is open to women and men. Please join us!
