LWV-PWFA First Fall Meeting
September 13, 10:30 - 12:30
Join us at the Haymarket-Gainesville Library, from 10:30 - 12:30.
There will be coffee and donuts, and a very interesting speaker.
We are having Kim Brace as a speaker. He has been very active with our redistricting, as you know, so it should be interesting.
According to his website: Kimball Brace, president of Election Data Services Inc., is a nationally recognized expert on redistricting, election administration, and the census.

Prince William County Jail and to recently released citizens
Re-Entry Connections, July 17, 5:30 PM at the Ferlazzo Building
The LWV-PWFA will set up a table with information on restoration of voting rights, materials for voter registration for those eligible, information on the November election (voting starts September 19), and information on the "Ban the Box" law regarding job applications.
The next regular Jail Board meeting is on July 16th. The Board will meet at the Adult Detention Center in the Board Room at 6:00 PM. The meeting consists primarily of updates to the number of inmates, the status of the budget, and any special programs that they have. [There is usually just one sentence about the number of ICE arrests.]
