National ballot measures to be discussed at public AAUW meeting

The Del Mar-Leucadia branch of the American Association of University Women invites the public to a presentation by the League of Women Voters on the pros and cons of the November ballot measures. The AAUW meeting will be held on Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Cardiff Library, 2081 Newcastle Avenue. A brown bag dinner at 6:30 p.m. precedes the meeting.

Nancy Hand and Roni Seay, members of the League of Women Voters and the Del Mar-Leucadia branch of AAUW, will make the presentation. Both women are officers of the League of Women Voters of San Diego County. Nancy Hand is the treasurer and Roni Seay the president. The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation of citizens in government. LWV never supports or opposes political parties or candidates for public office. LWV advocates on selected issues and has many of the same positions as AAUW. Before elections LWV members work to help voters become more knowledgeable about issues and candidates.

Membership in the American Association of University Women is open to all graduates who hold an associate or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university. The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch reflects the varied interests of its members with informative, educational monthly meetings and special interest groups such as Gourmet, Foreign Affairs, Book Groups, Mini Courses, Gadabout, and Theatre.
