March 19 agenda items include discussion of proposed bylaws and officer and committee positions. All are welcome to attend.

All NWPC-Lake County members will attend a kick-off meeting Saturday, March 21, 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Main Street Grill, Clearlake, complete certification requirements for the Caucus. Bylaws will be approved and officers elected at the March 21 meeting.

The NWPC is the only national grass-roots organization dedicated to increasing the number of women officials at all levels of government. NWPC was founded in 1971 as the political arm of the women’s movements, working to recruit, and train and support women for elected and appointed office, regardless of party affiliation.

The Caucus reaches across party lines to maximize women’s political energy and make the system work for women. It is committed to serving all women who support bottom-line issues of reproductive freedom, improved child care/dependant care, and the Equal Rights Amendment.

For more information, please call (707) 987-1146 or see www.nwpcca.org.

The program is free – they want your good ideas, positive energy and desire to make a positive difference.

Lake County has vast resources of people with skills and ideas that can be harnessed to make a significant contribution to the health and well being of our communities. The more we can depend on ourselves – on each other – the better off we'll be.

Attendees will make choices on how to spent their day.

Options include:

• Brainstorming and sharing ideas for increasing volunteerism in general – to create a culture of “people helping people and neighbor helping neighbor.”

• Working on special projects such a developing a volunteer referral program, how to spread the word and keep the process growing, coordination among organizations, etc.

• Learning about recruiting, managing and retaining volunteers with Terry Fries, an expert in nonprofit and volunteer management.

The event will be held in the brand new Lower Lake High School gymnasium from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 16. There also will be the option to continue into the afternoon. Use of the gym has been donated and the Lower Lake High School Key Club has volunteered to help.

Please come and be part of this effort. As Gandhi said, “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.”
