Tuesday, May 20 League Office Karen Wolf of King County Executive Sims’ office will be coming to speak to the Transportation Committee about the carbon-modeling project she is involved in. While this is a King County project, people throughout the nation are watching that project and looking forward to using its results to help in the battle against climate change. Because transportation is one of the serious producers of carbon, this project is of great interest to us. All are welcome to come hear Ms. Wolf and her staff.

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. | ||
