The League welcomes your support!League of Women Voters of Okaloosa County General FundYour local League is small but active in the community. We publish our Voter newsletter every other month to keep local residents apprised of issues affecting our County. From September through May our general monthly meetings -- which are free of charge and open to the public -- focus on important topics such as offshore drilling, ballot initiatives and updates to the Baker Act. During the presidential election year we sponsored a forum featuring local leaders of the Democratic, Republican and Libertarian Parties; hosted a "meet and greet" event for local candidate; partnered with the Pensacola Bay Area League and WSRE for televised "Rallies" before the primary and the general election to showcase candidates for local office; and held a special meeting on the proposed constitutional amendments. We also organize an annual "State of the County" report each May to enable citizens to hear directly from County officials. Our goal is to educate our citizens, encourage participation in the democratic process, and help maintain the quality of life on the Emerald Coast. If you would like to make a non-tax-deductible contribution to help defray our expenses, make your check or money order payable to LWVOC and mail it to: Carol Davis League of Women Voters Florida Education FundFree and open access to information is as important today as it ever was.
