LWVUS – New Education Position
The LWVUS Board approved a new Education position at their March 2012 Board meeting. The position is based on responses received from the 377 Leagues across the country who participated in the Education Study.
The new position can be found on the LWVUS website.
Thank you to all of the LWVN members who participated in the consensus meetings last fall; your input helped shape the new position.
City of Newton Open Space Survey
The city is currently updating its Recreation and Open Space Plan and as part of that process is seeking input from Newton residents.
You are encouraged to take the Open Space Survey on the city’s website at: www.newtonma.gov/gov/planning/lrplan/os/default.asp
