Come and be a part of this important effort to update LWVN education positions.

The League of Women Voters of Newton members who were present at the January 10, 2013 membership meeting voted overwhelmingly to support all three City of Newton override proposals.
Join the League on Thursday, January 10, as we vote whether to support Newton’s override proposal.
Please bring your questions, concerns, and opinions.
The meeting will be held from 7:00-8:30pm (note new end time), at the Waban Library, 1608 Beacon Street, Waban.
This will be an all-member meeting, per our bylaws, to vote on whether to amend our program for this year and take a position in support of the override proposal. With a vote to approve, the League would then be able to advocate on behalf of the override.
Also, according to our bylaws, we need a quorum of 25 members in order to take this vote. Please be sure to attend!
Information about the override can be found on the City’s website, a LWVN FAQ about Newton’s budget process can be found below, and more information is included in the LWVN Override Outline.
RSVP or more information at info@lwvnewton.org.
