THE VOTER A Publication of The League of Women Voters of Greater Birmingham Published April 2006 A Note from the President The LWVGB membership meeting in April will focus on plans and activities for the upcoming election season. Ginny Randolph and Betty Warnock have designed an excellent presentation to kick off our 2006 Voter Service program. Members are encouraged to attend this important meeting. Your participation will be vital to the success of these efforts. We completed our consensus of the state league’s Legislative Study in February. Hip-Hip-Hurray!! The LWVGB Board of Directors expresses sincere thanks to Mary Lynn Bates and Sarah McDonald for their work presenting the materials and moderating the discussion. We also thank the members who participated in the consensus process. Our report has been sent to LWVAL’s study committee as input, along with reports from the other local leagues in Alabama, into a proposed legislative position to be voted on at the state council meeting in May. Speaking of the state council meeting, this VOTER issue contains a call to the May 6th meeting in Auburn, AL. All members are welcome to attend. LWVGB’s own Mary Lynn Bates will present “The Case for Merit Selection of Judges and the Challenges to Change” during lunch. On Saturday, May 20th, we will conduct LWVGB’s annual business meeting, where we will elect members to the Board and approve a program, budget and changes to our bylaws. Please join us at McCormick and Schmidt’s restaurant near Brookwood Village at 10:30 AM for the business meeting and lunch afterwards. We look forward to seeing you there! --Yvonne
