Please join us on August 26 as we celebrate the 102nd anniversary of the day the 19th Amendment was officially added to the United States Constitution giving women the right to vote.

The League of Women Voters - Hill Country Texas will host its 2022 Women’s Equality Day celebration dinner at Schreiner University. The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a social time, buffet dinner at 6:00, and the main program at 6:30 p.m.

Our very special guest speaker will be Lourna Marquez-Carrasquillo, Community Relations Specialist for the Southern Texas District, U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services of the Department of Homeland Security.  Her presentation will focus on "Citizenship: The Path to an American Dream." 

League of Women Voters - Hill Country Texas was awarded a New Citizen Voter Registration Grant from LWV US this spring. We have set up a partnership with the Doyle Community Center to teach citizenship classes this fall. Several of our members have taught citizenship classes for a number of years and we are continuing this service to our communities.

We are inviting a number of special guests including our U.S. and state representatives, the county judges from our five counties, and teachers of citizenship classes in our local area as well as Kerrville's mayor and city council members.

You must register for the WED Dinner so the caterer knows how many are coming. The cost is $30 per person for the dinner including wine. Please bring a guest especially someone you think would be interested in joining our League and making a difference in defending democracy and empowering voters.

Time: 5:30 p.m. social time with a catered dinner buffet, including wine, at 6:00 p.m.
