2 January Program: Legislative Interviews and Chili Luncheon State Representatives State Senator Peggy Flanagan Cheryl Youakim Ron Latz 46A 46B 46 This program is very important as it gives LWV SLP members and their friends a chance to get to know who represents them at the State Legislature and what their views are on some of the issues coming up at the legislative session. There are questions that are pre-planned and also some informal discussion that allows a relaxed, but informative environment. The interviews are followed by a chili and cornbread lunch provided by LWV SLP Board members. 2
3 CMAL - A TWO PART PROGRAM in February 1. Focus on the History of the Metropolitan Council Thursday, February 8 th, 7:00 pm Golden Valley Historical Society Building 6731 Golden Valley Road This joint meeting with the Historical Society will focus on how and why the Metropolitan Council was established in 1967 and how it has evolved over time. 2. Current Issues The Metropolitan Council: What is all the Fuss About? Saturday, February 24 th, 9:30 11:30 am 316 Brookview Pkwy So., Golden Valley, MN A panel will provide differing perspectives. A joint meeting with CMAL and LWV Crystal/New Hope/East Plymouth. Introducing a New Member: Mary Tomback We are so pleased to welcome Mary to LWV SLP. She and her husband, Matt have three children. She states that she is a "retired" lawyer and stay-at-home mom. Shortly after they moved to St. Louis Park (2008) she got involved in the schools - as a member of the PTO, volunteering in the classroom, and helping to organize fundraisers. Mary joined in October In November she ran for School Board and won. We know she ll be very busy with the School Board but we look forward to seeing her at our local programs. 3
4 Our December Program Lively Issues/Holiday Treats The December program was a discussion of the LWV SLP positions. This program is traditionally referred to as Lively Issues. Though it is combined with Holiday treats, it is an important meeting that gets at the core of what it means to be a member of LWV SLP. We are nonpartisan and do not support any candidates, but we do support issues. It is important to let all the members and friends know what those issues are, what our support has been and what changes were arrived at by consensus at the meeting. It is a several page document, that clearly states our agenda. Every other year LWV SLP reviews the State and National positions. This year National issues were reviewed. The changes are listed below. The positions are listed on the LWV.org website. League of Women Voters St. Louis Park Program Process: Review Annually - Consensus Update, Keep, Drop New position or updates to a position - Requires a study need 5 people or more to work on it Another LWV can do a study, we could review it and then agree with their position.

Study housing opportunities in St. Louis Park to meet future needs of the community. Survey: encourage everyone to complete the SLP survey. Judy wants senior housing that is not as expensive. TRANSLATING LOCAL LEAGUE POSITIONS INTO ACTION Informal action begins with every member spreading interest and information in an ever-widening circle, starting with family, friends and neighbors. In addition, we can take action by carrying this information into the community through other organizations to which we belong. Supporting legislation, which furthers League s Program, by contacting our legislators is another important action to take. No one should speak or write letters for the League without first checking with the President National issues were discussed at this meeting. The changes are listed. The whole document is on the LWV.org website. Lively Issues Impact On Issues Review International Relations Arms Control, and Cyber Security Social Policy Secure equal rights and equitable (instead of equal) opportunity for all. Promote health and safety for all. (instead of Americans) Equality of Opportunity Support equitable (instead of equal) access to education, employment and housing 7
8 Federal Role in Public Education... for all children pre-k through Grades K 14 (instead of 12) Housing Supply for every American family Child Care quality dependent (instead of child) care Upcoming LWV Minnesota Meetings: 2018 Council Plans are underway for the April 28 th Council Meeting hosted by LWV St. Cloud. Meetings will be held at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel - a day filled with valuable trainings, technical assistance, networking and social opportunities for all LWV members who attend. Possible workshop topics include voter service, local LWV management, advocacy, equity and inclusion activities state-wide and the Membership Leadership Development program. The registration fee will be $115. Hopefully, our LWV can send a number of members. This is an especially great event for new members who want to learn more about LWV Minnesota and what s happening throughout the state. A block of rooms has been secured at the Marriott. Room rates for a single will be $129 or for a double $139, available for both the 27th and 28 th. Plans are under way to have a Welcome Reception on Friday the 27 th and a dinner at the Olde Brick House on Saturday evening. 8
9 2019 Centennial There are a number of dates that relate to LWV Minnesota s Centennial. Nothing is definite yet, but I thought you might enjoy seeing a number of possibilities the Centennial Committee is considering: May 19, Congressional Resolution to pass a Constitutional Amendment granting women the right to vote March 24, MN Legislature granted women the right to vote for president April 26, MN Convention in St. Paul (propose using this date to kick-off 18 months of Centennial events) June 4, th Amendment sent to states for ratification (consider this date in 2019 to conduct the Legacy Lunch) September 8, MN ratifies the 19th Amendment (this could also be the date for the Legacy Lunch or another major event) October 29, LWV Minnesota founded August 18, th Amendment becomes the law of the land! (perhaps sponsor a MN State Fair exhibit/parade presence during this time, and/or conduct our gala at the MN History Center) Ideas shared: MN History Center Exhibit - Conversations are underway to launch a large exhibit at the History Center in St. Paul that would also include a traveling exhibit to historical societies in local communities which could be hosted by local LWVs, and a fundraising gala. Idea for local LWVs - Host a Centennial Lecture Series where speakers would be arranged and could be made available to speak at libraries and other locations throughout the state. Also consider grants for local LWVs to host their own activities State Convention in St. Paul in Showcase profiles from older Lifetime members at our 2019 Convention. Summer Parades - Encourage local LWVs to promote the Centennial through participation in their respective community festivals and summer parades in 2019 and 2020, including the Aquatennial here locally. Theater Performances - Identify and promote suffrage related theater performances, ghost tours and other arts events that connect with Centennial and the characters from those times, such as Clara Ueland. Media Campaign - Develop feature story ideas and pitch to the media for 2019 and 2020, both statewide and within local communities. Torch Event - Replicate the torch that traveled from International Falls to the St. Paul Capitol to help get out the vote in Having a traveling torch could provide a great opportunity for local LWVs to organize events in their communities as the torch comes through, i.e. having it carried by young people, older people and people of color. Stay tuned for more updates from LWV Minnesota. As a member of the Centennial Committee, I ll include more updated information in the months leading up to the Council and the Convention. Please keep these events in mind. It s an important time to shine a light on the activities of the League of Women Voters both locally and throughout the state. Barb Person 9
