That's right, LWVCC members! Your feedback is so valuable to us that we are offering a special incentive for completing our membership satisfaction survey.

By taking a few minutes to share your thoughts on our programs, events, and overall membership experience, you will not only help us improve LWVCC but also have the opportunity to win a fantastic prize.

The names of every member who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $100 gift card for the Turtle Club Restaurant. Members may only submit one survey. The drawing will take place on December 2, 2024, at the General Meeting. The winner does not need to be present to win.

Wine donations will be taken again this year for the Cork Pull at Celebrate the League—Empowering Collier County Voters for 50 Years, February 27, 2025, at The Olde Cyress Club. Last year we had so much fun and a wide variety of donated wines. If you donated last year, please think about donating once again. And if you would like to share the fun by donating a bottle or two of wine this year—great! We will be collecting wines at our monthly meetings beginning in November. Gayle Repetto is leading the Cork Pull this year. If you would like to coordinate a pick-up or drop-off of your wine, please reach out to Gayle.
