We host area Leagues at the Otesaga! 

.The Leagues of Women Voters of the Oneonta Area and of Utica-Rome are set to join us for lunch at noon on Saturday, October 17, 2009 at the Otesaga. Our speaker will be our well loved and respected LWVNYS Legislative Director, Barbara Bartoletti.
.This is an event you will not want to miss. Please send your pre-paid reservation (for yourself and your guest(s)) to our Treasurer, Vicky Gates at 1270 County Hwy 33, Cooperstown, NY 13326. The cost is $19.00 with tax and tip included. We need a head count by October 14th, but why wait? Do it now! 

Planning our year over soup & bread 
 .Our national League's Membership Recruitment Initiative (yes, that's MRI) has been in it's trial phase and has been very successful. One of the most successful initiatives has been the use of public forums on "hot" topics.

.We need your ideas. Let's get together and plan this year's calendar with hot soup, hot ideas, and warm conversation. President Ellen has invited us to gather at noon at her home (80 Beaver Street).  
We begin a new state League study
.At the state League convention in May, the delegates adopted a new study of up to two years on the consolidation of governmental units and the sharing of governmental services.
