League of Women Voters - Town Election Candidate Forums - Please Send Questions!
The Winchester annual town election will be on March 22, 2025, with all precincts voting at Winchester High School. The Winchester League will again hold candidate forums for all town wide offices with more candidates than open seats.

Parking; Handicap accessible. The Winchester League thanks the Cummings Foundation for its

This event is for students in grades 6-12. No adults, please. We're looking for teens to help make the library the best it can be! In this group we will have opportunities for you to help in a variety of ways - help make choices on what we should buy for the collection, create programs for all to attend, work on social media posts, and create decorations to brighten the Teen Space.

Minuteman Senior Services will present resources that enable older adults to continue living at home. Learn what’s available; whether you need services today or want to know what’s available for future needs. While open to all, the presentation will focus on the unique needs of Solo Agers – those without the support of adult children or family. An audience discussion will follow the presentation. To register: call 781-721-7136 or visit www.jenkscenter.org

The League of Women Voters' open meeting is scheduled for January 16, 2024. After a brief business meeting, including an update on LWVUS centralized membership dues collection, we will view and discuss highlights from a recent LWVMA Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Peer Discussion Group Meeting on the topic: What it Means to do DEI Work Intentionally.

This is sure to be an informative discussion. A zoom invitation will be circulated closer to the meeting date.

On Saturday, March 2, we are holding coordinated state house assemblies in over 30 states, including at the State House in Boston. Our goal is to bring attention to the poverty in our midst, as well as other interrelated injustices. We hope to mobilize voters to participate in our democracy to bring about change toward justice for all and for the environment.
