Club to host letter writing party

SENIORS FOR PEACE

The Seniors For Peace Club invites residents to join it on Friday, March 17, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 4, to write letters to Wisconsin voters encouraging them to vote in their state’s April 4 election to select the fifth member of their five-member Supreme Court. The Wisconsin Supreme Court is poised to decide on major cases covering issues ranging from gerrymandering to women’s rights, including an 1849 law prohibiting abortion. Though the position is non-partisan, there are major differences between the two candidates.

Participants can drop in at any convenient time during the event. There will be pre-printed letters providing an informational link, fwd.vote/wi, for the recipients. Basically all letter-writers need to do is add a name to the salutation, write from one to three sentences about why voting is important to them personally and sign the letters with first name and initial. No partisan language is allowed. Then they will address the provided envelope and place the letter in it. The envelopes will be stamped at a later date and mailed on March 28. The club would much appreciate donations for stamps.

Refreshments will be served. Some might even be green since it will be St. Patrick’s Day.

All LW residents and their guests are invited to attend. For more information, call Pat Kruger at 562-357-4040.
