Help celebrate our
90th birthday - come to Harrisburg!
On Wednesday, February 10,
Rep. Barbara McIlvaine-Smith and Senator Ted Erickson will be
introducing House and Senate Resolutions honoring the League of
Women Voters on its 90th anniversary. House and Senate League
members will also have an opportunity for a photo op with League
members who are present. Pictures will be taken by the Capitol
Photographer and we hope they will help local Leagues as they create
their own media events in honor of our 90th birthday. The event
keeps changing as our Legislators keep thinking of new ways to
celebrate! Here is the schedule as of now:
10:30 am Meet at Senator Ted
Erickson's office for photo op - Room 281 Capitol Building
11:00 am Senate Chambers LWV
members seated in gallery - Resolution is introduced and League
members are introduced
11:30 am House Chambers LWV
members seated in gallery - Resolution is introduced and League
members are introduced.
12 noon Photo op in the
Rotunda with League members and Legislators who are League
members or friends of the LWV
Lunch in the Rotunda (Rep.
Barbara McIlvaine-Smith will provide the sandwich platter and
water).
A tour of the Capitol can also be arranged
if members are interested.

Wednesday, March 31st for those who would rather come to
Harrisburg in nicer weather. We will have "Tea with First Lady
Marjorie Rendell" at the Milestone Inn in Harrisburg from 2-4 pm.
She will talk about her Civic Participation projects and we will
honor past presidents of LWVPA.
