— from the League of Women Voters of the San Juans —
Once again, the League of Women Voters of the San Juans will sponsor forums where candidates and speakers on ballot issues will address the public, and take questions. On Orcas Island, the forum will include candidates for the Orcas Fire and Rescue Commission and for the Orcas Park and Recreation Commission.
The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, Oct. 6 on San Juan Island at 7 p.m at the Grange in Friday Harbor.
Wednesday, Oct. 7 on Orcas Island at 6 p.m. at the American Legion Hall near Country Corner in Eastsound.
Thursday, Oct. 8 on Lopez Island at 6:30 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church.
The League of Women Voters does not endorse candidates or political parties, but does encourage informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, influences public policy through education and advocacy and does take stands on issues after study and consensus. Those interested in joining the League of Women Voters of the San Juans can do so by calling 360-317-7518 or by emailing margaretdoyle7@gmail.com
