Presentation of first LWVW Civic Leadership Award The League of Women Voters of Winchester held a successful event on March 3 at the Sanborn House. Over sixty people came to see Town Clerk Mary Ellen Lannon receive the Civic Leadership Award, which is given to someone who helps our goal of "Making Democracy Work." A wine-tasting was offered by Wine Country of Winchester and tapas were donated by Masa of Woburn. A jazz ensemble from the Winchester Music School provided lively entertainment. Over thirty local merchants donated items and gift certificates to the silent auction. With proceeds from the auction and ticket sales we were able to raise over $4,000.00 to fund our work.
