reviewing the last two years.
Join Us for CONVENTION in San Jose!

purchase League publications and gifts. Convention `99 will take place May 14-16
in San Jose.

- Speakers for various convention
functions have been chosen and
are profiled in a series of articles.
Convention News Online

State of the Art
Citizenship
- Voters were looking to an organization they have come to
trust for nonpartisan election information the League of

Keep That PMP!

you gain when a new member joins your League?
Such a Deal!

available to League members at an amazing bargain.
MTAs Share Experience

dialogue on the future of Medicare held last October.

Other Tax Deadline

ways to make charitable gifts, including gifts to the League of Women Voters of
California Education Fund, is by will or trust.
New International Relations Group

being organized for LWVC calling attention to
recent important international events, including activities

work of other Leagues throughout the country
involving international relations.
