Time to renew your membership!

~ League of Women Voters of Wayland ~ Leave a comment

As many of you are aware, the method of collecting LWV of Wayland membership renewals has changed. You will no longer receive dues renewal notices from our LWV of Wayland, but you will begin receiving email messages from LWVUS with instructions on how to renew your membership on-line. These notices will begin arriving approximately 2 months before whatever date you paid your dues in 2024-25. All payments will go to LWVUS, and our League will receive 20% of your payment. This percentage is actually higher than the percentage we used to realize when you were mailing your checks to us.

How to make an additional donation to the LWV of Wayland

LWV of Wayland is fortunate to have so many members who make additional donations to our local league when they rejoin. We are grateful and thank all of you who are so generous year after year.

LWVUS has made it easy for members to make donations directly to LWV of Wayland by including a link to the donation page directly from the membership renewal page. The full amount of your donation will be sent to LWV of Wayland if you navigate to this page. If you make your donation as part of your renewal, we will only receive 20% of your donation.

You can join the LWV of Wayland at any time by clicking on the How to Join link at the top of the this page.

LWV of Wayland Annual Meeting on Thursday, June 9 at 7 pm

~ League of Women Voters of Wayland ~ Leave a comment

Join other LWV of Wayland members on Zoom on Thursday, June 9 at 7 pm for our Annual Meeting! Our speaker will be Wayland resident Karen Montague who has been volunteering at the International Institute of New England (IINE) with other members of her church to help settle Afghan Refugees.  The agency has settled 500 Afghans so far and is expecting another 150.  (The agency is also receiving Ukrainian refugees now.  See more about IINE below.)  Karen cooks with the women each week despite the language barrier and collects items for the families’ homes. 

The International Institute of New England is a United States non-profit organization serving immigrants, refugees, asylees, and other vulnerable populations in the Boston area.  Affiliate branches are located in Lowell, Massachusetts, and Manchester, New Hampshire. In 2017, the IINE assisted nearly 2,000 people from more than 60 different countries, including, but not limited to, Burma, Bhutan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The business part of the Annual Meeting will follow the presentation. The Zoom link will be sent to League members the week of the event. If you have any questions, please email info@lwvwayland.org.
