The Whitewater-Area League of Women Voters’ February 2010 Newsletter is now available, and the latest issue includes a calendar of upcoming LWV events. The latest copy of the LWV newsletter is available as a link on my blogroll, and is embedded below, with coding through Google. I like the simplicity that the Google Document Viewer offers, with features including a larger-screen mode, and a link to the document, from which one can view, print, or share it.
Here is a sampling of upcoming events mentioned in the February newsletter:
