By Pam Maldonado
 
Congratulations to project coordinators Diane Marks and Young Leaguer/ School District representative Lori Dool and the 102 League volunteers who participated in our successful National Voter Registration Week campaign last September!  
 
We are proud to announce that, out of almost 4100 “community partners,” LWVPBC jumped 4 spots to #5 in the nation!  This was a huge project, but probably just a warm-up for what promises to be an even bigger year as we move closer to the 2020 Elections.   WAY TO GO, TEAM!
