Voter Service is embarking on a very exciting new project to encourage the Gen Z (18-29) vote that has been increasing since 2018. Young people have many issues they care deeply about, and they want to see change!
Gail Digate will join us. She has led a very successful program for her League in Northern Arizona, and she will share her experience and suggestions for what she has found to work best. This is a vital project with a variety of responsibilities needed to get it implemented.
Bonnie Jackson, Chair
JOIN US AND BRING YOUR ENTHUSIASM FOR GETTING INVOLVED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT A SUCCESS!
NWMC MARCH BOOK CLUB
MONDAY, APRIL 17, 2023 @ 7PM (Zoom Link on calendar)
Submitted by Bonnie Saunders
After an extremely interesting discussion on After the Ivory Tower Falls and a couple of zoom problems, those present at the book club meeting yesterday decided we would read The Man Who Ran Washington: The Life and times of James A. Baker III by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, published in 2021. It is available from Amazon in paperback. I have read books by these two authors and they write well and interestingly. Read this book and come to the zoom discussion at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, May 15th (3rd Monday). You will get a reminder and a link before the meeting.
R.I.S.E. COURSES
Note to our members: To participate in these classes, you must be a member of R.I.S.E. (RISE Lifelong Learning Center)
R.I.S.E. Course: "The Supreme Court and Other Federal Courts". Four Wednesday afternoons in June.
Article III of the U.S. Constitution creates only the Supreme Court and allows Congress to create other federal courts, which Congress has done. In this course, we will focus on the Supreme Court and its controversial history to this day. The Court might issue some controversial rulings during this class as they do every June. If so, we will certainly discuss them!
R.I.S.E. Course: "The Russian Invasion of Ukraine, One Year+ Later". Four Monday afternoons in June.
What has been the impact, so far, of the Russian invasion of Ukraine -- on both of those countries, on NATO, on energy supplies? What has been the role of the U.S. in aid to Ukraine? How has the rest of the world reacted to these events? We will discuss these questions and the historical background of the invasion.
