League of Women Voters to Hold Forum for North Forkers to Get Involved

In celebration of Women’s History Month, the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons, Shelter Island & North Fork invites LWV members, prospective members and interested residents of the Shelter Island and North Fork communities to a program titled “LWV: History, Mission and Future” on Thursday, March 5, from 5-7 p.m. 

Held in the Peconic Landing auditorium, at 1500 Brecknock Road in Greenport, the event offers an opportunity to explore the rich, over 100-year legacy of the League and discover how to become an active participant in democracy.

As a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, the League welcomes people with diverse perspectives and ideas to attend, for an evening of education and civic engagement, complemented by light refreshments.

The Hamptons, Shelter Island and North Fork Chapter runs debates for local public office, voter registration drives, educational programs on the democratic process and forums about issues relevant to the East End of Long Island.

Initially incorporated as the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons, the chapter has expanded in recent years to include Shelter Island and the North Fork, and is looking for North Forkers who want to get involved with expanding its programs here.
