A full report will be posted soon. A big turnout of members and non-members filled the Berkeley Chinese Community Church on Thursday, May 11, for the League Annual Meeting.  About 70 people had signed up for supper and about 90 for the mayoral panel and annual meeting.

The event was in a NEW LOCATION to League members–the Berkeley Chinese Community Church on 2117 Acton Street, just south of University Avenue.

All were welcome to attend the panel.

All Members were invited to participate in Annual Business Meeting.

Supper:  Entrees were chicken or falafel [vegan]; salad and the dessert will be pound cake with berries. Cost for members: $17 and for non-members $22.

Carpools:  We hope we helped if you let us know you needed a lift; if you need a last minute lift, please call a League friend or acquaintance.

Business Meeting: The League’s Annual Business Meeting was held from 7:40 – 9 pm. Members elected the new Board of Directors and Officers, discussed and voted on the budget for 2017-18 and a proposed by-laws change. They  reviewed the Policy Positions of LWVBAE and the policy priorities for the next League year, then discussed and voted on them.
