LWVCC Attends Champaign Neighborhood Event

This summer Champaign's Lovin’ U Campaign, sponsored by the City's Neighborhood Services Department in partnership with the Champaign County Community Coalition and the Hip-Hop Xpress, held neighborhood block parties across the city. ​

League volunteers Carol Baxter (pictured) and Ann Prlsland joined in at Bristol Place on September 1. This proved to be a great opportunity to "plant seeds" for future voters (see photo), as well as make face-to-face contact with neighborhood leaders for future voter registration opportunities. ​

Other recent events are on the League Events page.
