I agree.5/9/80 TO: SANDY THOMPSON - Feature Section LAS VEGAS SUN FROM: Mimi Katz, League of Women Voters RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, or THURSDAY, MAY 15 LWV ANNUAL MEETING The Annual Meeting of the League of Women Voters will be on Saturday, May 17, at 1:00 p.m. at the University Center for Religion and Life, 4765 Brussels Street (just south of UNLV). Included in the program will be progress reports of the various League activities throughout the year and the election of officers for 1980- 1981. Alice Locicero, Anne Zorn and Marion Sumners, who have been doing research on low level radiation, will present an informative film entitled, "So You Want To Be In Pictures" . As a special feature there will be a presentation of an award to a League member who has done some outstanding work during her many years of service. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the League of Women Voters. It was originally proposed in February 1920 by delegates from the National American Womens Suffrage Association, and the President of NAWSA at that time said of the League: "The League is to unite all existing organizations of women who believe in its principles; it is to develop cooperation between men and women; it is not to lure women from partisanship but to combine them in an effort for legislation which will protect coming movements which we cannot even foretell, and from suffering the untoward conditions which have hindered for so long the coming of equal suffrage." From its inception, it was apparent that the League's legislative goals were not exclusively women's issues and that citizen education aimed at all of the electorate was in order. All past League members and anyone interested in joining the League will be welcomed to help celebrate this long and impressive tradition. For more information, please call 385-7084
