Kitchen Table Workshop & Social
Learn, Contribute, and Connect
February 2, 2020
Kitchen Table is an event for new and existing League members as well as volunteers and those who are just curious from the general public.
There will be a workshop on “Helping Friends Vote Local”. The March 17th Primary Election is quickly approaching, and many people still do not know who is running or why it matters. Some people don't even know the election is coming up. As such, the voter turnout is expected to be quite low. But you can help change that. We’ll discuss information, resources, and tools that can help make the voting process easy for you & your friends. The information we provide is non-partisan, and we don't endorse any candidates. This information will be useful for anyone that wants to know more about the upcoming local election.
Once business is done, we’ll connect with friends & allies over coffee or drinks in downtown Champaign at “Neil St Blues” (301 N Neil St).
Bring a friend!
3:30 pm Workshop at Champaign Public Library, Robeson's Room A & B, 200 W Green, Champaign
5:00 pm Social at Neil St Blues, Downtown Champaign, 301 N. Neil St.
