The League of Women Voters of Thurston County (LWVTC) will hold its Annual Spring Luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on May 16 at Indian Summer, 5900 Troon Lane SE, Olympia.
The luncheon will be preceded by a Silent Auction and Raffle to benefit the LWVTC Education Fund.
The luncheon supports the League’s local nonpartisan educational projects to help citizens become active and informed participants in their communities and government, a news release from the LWVTC stated. This includes activities such as voter registration, non-partisan candidate forums, and dissemination of “The State We’re In: Washington,” an exclusive text in English and Spanish for grades 3-5 and 7-12 that focuses on the state’s history, government, and growing diversity.
Karen Crowley, President of the League of Women Voters of Washington State, is the speaker this year. Karen has a background in non-profit management and fundraising along with theater and dance.
“I am deeply committed to our dual mission of empowering voters and defending democracy,” Crowley said in the release. “When not creating ‘good trouble,’ I delight in carving out time for my garden and the New York Times crossword puzzle.”
The Lifetime Citizenship Award is to be announced at the luncheon.
Luncheon tickets are $65. Reserve tickets online at https://tinyurl.com/ym7nm3z4 or send checks made out to LWVTC to: PO Box 2203 Olympia, WA 98507.
