OBSERVER TEAM
The Observer Team is looking for help from members who attend public meetings. Our core team of observers who attend public meetings is very small, so we would like to appeal to our members who attend public meetings as part of their committee work or just as interested citizens. You do not have to be a regular observer to report back to your local League on what is happening in our community. There is a quick report form you can fill out online after attending a meeting that will help keep tabs on government entities around town.
