And......Consider
observing a local meeting
With
the economic situation today, local governments are struggling
with how to meet needs yet stay within their budgets. We would
like to see how local governments are doing by asking League
members to observe one meeting between mid February to mid March
and return a form
to the office on what they found.
Click
to find a schedule of some of the more common meetings which
you might want to observe. If there is another entity in which
you are interested, call the office and we will let you know the
date and time of that meeting. We are doing this in conjunction
with National Sunshine
Week, held in March.
