League of Women Voters of Archuleta County looks back on year of success

Posted

On July 23, the League of Women Voters of Archuleta County (LWV) participated in a meeting reviewing a year of activities.

Initiated by the 2025 June Recruitment Reception and a fall welcome, the highlight was the July fundraiser film “Join or Die” on community involvement featuring tributes to local nonprofits.

Topics for the 2026 meetings included environmental safety and local issues as suggested by member survey. Meetings reviewed health care proposals, affordable housing, water issues, wildfire preparation, election processes and student civics education. The LWV also co-sponsored the “Conversations” series that discussed ballot initiatives for November. The League would like to thank all speakers who shared their time and expertise.

There will be no meetings in August. Fall 2026 meetings will occur Sept. 29, Oct. 26 and Nov. 17. Future topics include the Forest Health Partnership, an updated review of the Archuleta ballot initiatives, the “Blue Book” and election preparations.

Meetings will be held at the Community United Methodist Church, 434 Lewis St., at 5:30 p.m. We hope you will join us.
