Please note our meeting time next week has changed!

To avoid a conflict with the League of Women Voters Albany School Board and City Council Forums (starting at 6pm), we are moving our meeting on the 17th up to 5pm. If you cannot make it, don't worry, we will make a recording available ASAP after the event. 

Join us to hear about Measure L, the Albany Unified School District's bond measure appearing on the November ballot. We will have a representative from the School District to present and answer a few questions before we have a chance to discuss. Members in good standing for at least 45 days will also be able to vote on endorsing the bond. 


Tuesday September 17 
7pm Via Zoom 

Form on AUSD School Bond 

 

Members in good standing should have received two emails with the Opavote links to vote in each race. Voting will be open until Thursday at noon, after which we will be posting the final results.
