We walked through the halls of the State House to the Gardner Auditorium we were surrounded by women and men from League of Women Voter groups from all over Massachusetts. Each year members of the LWVW attend this event to learn from the League of Women Voters Massachusetts. The message received through out the day was to get involved, keep in touch with your Legislators and most of all - “Failure is not an option.” It is a very inspiring time! If you are a member and would like to go, you can! We will post when the next one is in our events calendar. |
