Dear Friend,

As a member of the League of Women Voters of Newton, I would like to invite your business to be a sponsor of the 2016-2018 edition of our Handbook.  This year we are once again placing a “Yellow Pages” section of supporters in the Handbook and are seeking sponsorship from businesses and services that individual Newton League members have found useful and would recommend to others.

Our handbook, published every other year just after local elections, is an important tool for our members and other influential citizens in the community.  It contains a directory of all current elected officials, from Newton’s municipal government up through U.S. President; contact information for all of our members; municipal meeting calendars; League position statements; and other pertinent information.  The new edition is being prepared now for publication in June.

I have found my association with your business to be one that I want other League members to know about, and I hope you will agree to sponsor the League.  The list of rates and terms is outlined on the accompanying sheet.  Please note that we must receive copy and payment by Tuesday, May 24, 2016 for sponsorships to appear in this year’s handbook.

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, has fought since 1920 to improve our system of government and impact public policies through citizen education and advocacy.  The League of Women Voters is nonpartisan in that it does not support or oppose any political party or candidate; it is political in that it takes positions on selected governmental issues after member study and agreement.  The League’s enduring vitality and resonance come from its unique decentralized structure.  The League is a grassroots organization, working at the local, state, and national levels.

The Newton League has a robust membership of over 200 informed and active citizens.  In order to help Newton citizens become educated, informed and active voters, we:

  • Promote and assist in the registration of voters;
  • Provide information about elections and voting procedures, and help the electorate learn the views of all candidates through Candidate’s Forums and Voter’s Guides;
  • Work to assure that government is accessible to all, by recruiting and training League members to observe and report on municipal meetings;
  • Join with other Newton organizations to sponsor forums to inform Newton citizens about important local issues; e.g., All About Charter Commissions; the League’s Candidates’ Workshop, Don’t Just Stand There, Run; Taking Action Against Climate Change: A Carbon Fee for Massachusetts.

If you have any questions, please contact me or our handbook editor, Lisa Mirabile (617-332-5374 or handbook@lwvnewton.org).

Thank you very much for your support of the League of Women Voters of Newton.
