November/December 2009 Events
Please note: With the early December 4 scheduling this year of the Legislative Luncheon, there will be no November Community Dialogue
1. Annual Legislative Luncheon Scheduled for Friday, December 4. The six state legislators who represent Charlottesville and Albemarle County have been invited to attend the annual League of Women Voters Legislative Luncheon at the Boar’s Head Inn, on Friday, December 4, at noon. This is your opportunity to greet and meet your local representatives who will give brief presentations about the upcoming legislative session and then respond to questions from you, the audience.
Because we count on great League attendance to maintain this enlightening community event, this year we moved the date a month earlier than it has been in past years. We hope that with a date early in December before the holidays, we can make it easier for our legislators to attend, and that we can draw an even larger audience than we have in the past. So put December 4 on your calendar and send in your reservations. And please invite a friend to join you. If every member could bring one friend who might be interested in hearing from their legislators, our numbers would be greatly increased and help keep this valued event alive.
Email lwv@avenue.org or call 970-1707 by 3:30 p.m. on November 24 to make reservations for luncheon (soup, hearty lunch salad entree, dessert, coffee or tea). Cost of lunch: $26. Make your check out to the LWV and mail it to the office: League of Women Voters, 1936 Arlington Blvd., #116, Charlottesville, VA 22903.
2. Annual Holiday Party Scheduled for Tuesday, December 8, at 6pm, at the home of Ruth Wadlington, 1620 Keith Valley Rd., Charlottesville (see driving directions below). It's holiday time, and you are invited to celebrate with fellow Leaguers! Our treasurer Ruth Wadlington has graciously opened her home and there will be lots of tasty “finger-foods” to nibble on as well as beverages to imbibe. Please join us for a lovely evening of fellowship!
