In observance of Mental Health Month, the Social Policy Committee toured the new NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of Collier County facility and received a briefing on the many programs offered by NAMI. The available services are impressive and we left with a better understanding of this valuable community resource.

AFTERNOON & EVENING EVENTS FOR OUR BUSY MEMBERS!

Our growing ranks include a number of people who work or volunteer during the day. They often can't attend our luncheons or morning committee meetings. The Membership Team is putting together a group of members to help us organize events in the late afternoon and evening. These events could focus on a speaker or topic—or be purely social and networking! If you’re interested, please contact Membership Team Chair Beth VanDamme.

Florida Weekly logo

The League has formed a partnership with Florida Weekly, a free local newspaper published once a week, to further the education of voters as part of the Get-Out-the-Vote campaign. The paper will print regular non-partisan articles, using the LWV logo, about upcoming elections, registration, voting options, and forums, culminating in a four-page Voter Guide in August for the Primary Election and again in late October for the General Election. Links to recent articles will be provided here in the LWVCC Update.
