Book Club

Calling all book lovers! The LWV Arapahoe County has formed a non-fiction book club that meets quarterly. This quarter the book choice is "That Used to Be Us" by Thomas Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum. They analyze the four challenges we face-globalization, the revolution in information technology, the nation's chronic deficits, and our pattern of excessive energy consumption-and they spell out what we need to do now to sustain the American dream and preserve American power in the world. Come discuss this on Wednesday, February22, 2012 at Koelbel library at 9:30am.
For more information please contact Maggie Markey at 303-814-8038.

Lunch Bunch

This is a social event to meet League members and to exchange informal conversation. Also, bring a current topic you would like the group to discuss. The next lunch is Thursday, March 15, 2012, 11:30 a.m. at the Hacienda Restaurant in Lone Tree. The address is 10500 Bierstadt Way, Englewood(though it is really Lone Tree). This is just East of I-25 and North of Lincoln. Their phone number is 303-858-8588. They suggest you call for detailed directions if you are not familiar with the restaurant, and they'll be happy to direct you. We have a reservation under the name of League of Women Voters. We welcome all members and guests! Hope you can make it.

Public Forums

On Sunday, March 4 at the Smoky Hill Library, the League of Women Voters is holding a pubic forum on oil and gas drilling. Topics being discussed will include whether local regulation of drilling activities is needed and the limits local jurisdictions may face when attempting to regulate oil and gas activities.
