Reaching Out to Immokalee Voters

Once again we had a fun filled, hot summer day interacting with the families of our community at the 14th Annual Lipman Backpack Giveaway. Starting at 9am, six dedicated LWVCC members ( Diane Moore, Paula Schwerin, Carolyn Moore, Susan Golden, Susan Sonnenschein, and Tina Palmese) were super busy signing “passports” for kids of all ages to prove attendance to earn a new bicycle, bike helmet, backpack, and a whole lot more. Many visited our LWVCC table, kids and their parents, to play with the “wheel” answering questions about election and voting—winning candy and stickers for knowing the importance of voting. We gave out coloring pages with crayons & question pages (both fun and educational) and flags. Many parents took our Voter Guide and other printed material about the League. It was a most successful day for all those that volunteered!
