Hill Country League of Women Voters to meet in Fredericksburg
The League of Women Voters of the Hill Country Texas scheduled a meeting on Saturday, March 28, in the Fest Room at Marktplatz, at 100 West Main Street in Fredericksburg. League meetings are open to the public: visitors are welcome and there is no charge to attend. A social time for members and guests and visitors to get acquainted begins at 9:30 a.m., with light refreshments. The business meeting and the program begin at 10 a.m.
The meeting is available on Zoom by contacting the League at the following: [email protected].
There are two outstanding events in the women's suffrage movement in Texas. The Legislature passed a bill to allow women to vote in primary elections: the bill was signed into law on March 26, 1918 and a Primary Election was scheduled for July 27, 1918. In 17 days (beginning June 26 and ending July 11), approximately 386,000 women registered to vote. A year later - on June 28, 1919 - the Legislature approved a resolution ratifying the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which granted women the right to vote.
Bunny Bond, the President of the Hill Country League of Women Voters, will present a program on Commemorating Women's History Month: The Suffrage Movement in Texas. A graduate of the University of Texas in Austin, Bunny worked as an elementary school teacher in two Texas school districts, a middle school librarian in another Texas school district, an administrator of two private schools, and retired from Kerrville State Hospital as Director of Rehab. She has resided in Kerrville since 1985 and is active in the Kerr County Historical Commission and serves on two mental health nonprofit boards.
The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan and non-profit civic organization and does not endorse or oppose candidates for elected office. The Hill Country Texas League has 46 years of serving citizens and has members in six counties in the Hill Country: Bandera, Blanco, Gillespie, Kendall, Kerr and Llano.
The work of the League is focused on registering citizens to vote, providing information on candidates, and encouraging citizens to vote. Anyone aged 16 and older can become a member by paying the annual dues.
