To LWVUV Members:

I hope you will come to the October 22 – Tuesday meeting. It will be at 1:00 – 3:00p at the Oregon State University Extension Service Roseburg Office in the kitchen meeting room (lower floor) at 1143 SE Douglas St, Roseburg. Please park in the County visitor parking.

This meeting is to review the new web pages for the League, and learn some helpful hints about finding documents/studies and the new Forums. It will be with Mary Sinclair, from Rogue Valley League on a big screen in real time WiFi. You may bring your own laptops, if you wish, but this is not required. The pages have changed and the state League and national League look very much the same. You should register as a member prior to this meeting. Each member can sign on and create their own password now, if you have not already done so.

There are also some new web sites which we should know about. I hope this will be a benefit to members who like to use the internet. I know it may not be for everyone, but we have room for about 20 at this location.

If you are coming, I will send you some documents ahead to look at. SO RSVP BY OCTOBER 18!

If you did not attend the League Forum–Cradle to Career–but are still interested to work on one of the new studies, please let me know.

Thank you for your continued support. Please contact me if you have questions.

The  2013 Garden Committee met last week to evaluate our recent Garden Tour held on Saturday, June 15th in the Roseburg area and to make recommendations for 2014.

Although we realized Individual words of thanks were extended to the musicians, artists and those who helped to make the 2013 Country Garden Tour a very special event, we realized it was important for the members of the LWVUV to know who was involved in this production.  Individually, you may want to extend your personal thanks and appreciation for their participation when you see any of the following:

Linda  Smith, representing the Audubon Society, led informative bird walks at Sunshine Park  during a 4-hour period.

Artists who participated  were:

Victoria Carnate, John & Judy Waller, Peter Alsen, Paul Zegers, Dan Rockholt, Susan Commerford and Claudia Lapham & Friends.

Musicians who participated were:

Steve Erickson, Dan Bedford, Rebecca Moore, Frank Elst, Cindy Ferguson, Wanda Eddy, Joe Ross & Friends, Ray  Wanamaker and Jeff Haverner.

We know may of you participated in the tour, so you may already know who was instrumental in making this event a success.  We also know some of you were not available and wanted you to know the extent of community involvement.

Nancy Farris is the chair for 2014.  Please contact her if you wish to participate in the planning of our 3^rd annual garden tour.  nfarris@centurytel.net

Thanks from the committee: Beverly Paulson, Nancy Farris, Penny Reed, Rina Bengstrom, Anna Willman and Jean Oswald
