OCTOBER
OCTOBER- The League of Women Voters has long been recognized for its nonpartisan commitment to empowering voters. This is a moment when civic engagement and meaningful participation in our democracy has never mattered more. Saliyah Parker, a member of the all-volunteer League of Women Voters Austin Area, will explore an entertaining history of suffrage, and tell us about current League activities. Printed Voter’s Guides for both Travis and Williamson Counties will be available together with a voting plan checklist so that you can be prepared to participate in the fast-approaching mid-term elections.
NOVEMBER
Svetlana Novikova is an Austin artist who creates both fine art and caricature. She is a member of the International Society of Caricature Artists and the National Cartoonists Society and has been an invited speaker at the International Caricature convention. At our luncheon, she will demonstrate and explain caricature using our Luncheon attendees as her caricature subjects. Time constraints will not allow her to draw everyone, so subjects will be selected by lottery from the luncheon reservation list. Svetlana will also bring a selection of both her fine art and caricature for display. Don’t miss this fun event!
