Wellness with LWV
Voter Services at Heartland's Wellness Fair
 
Members of the League's Voter Services Committee (VSC) connected with students at Heartland Community College during the school's Wellness Fair in September. VSC had a  table alongside 37 other community organizations to introduce students to service opportunities for themselves and their families. Thanks to Kyle Ciani, Theresa Garrett, Cathy Pratt, Mark and Peggy Swerdlik, and Phylis VerSteegh for your engagement. Next up for the VSC is the Banned Books Kickoff on October 4, 10:30 AM -12:30 PM at the Bloomington Public Library.

If you are interested in joining our committee, please email Kyle Ciani at voterserviceslwvmclean@gmail.com  We typically meet the second Monday of each month via Zoom in the evening.
