Celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and get excited for the March 3 Massachusetts primaries by joining the League of Women Voters of Newton for this inaugural event.

Adults and students in grades 8 and above are invited to participate.

This is a FREE event; no expertise is needed, just a will to challenge yourself and have some fun. Come and test your knowledge of civics; federal, state, and local government; and the women’s suffrage movement.

Participants will work together in teams of 3-4 people.  Form your own team or register as an individual and we will assign you to a team.

Prizes will be awarded to the winning teams.  Refreshments will be provided.
