Welcome to our new Website

After many years of hosting all the information for the Arlington League of Women Voters on a website she custom coded, Phyllis Maddox has passed the baton.

The new site may look different, but we hope to provide the same information and level of service you have come to expect from the LWVA.com site, on a platform that can be managed by a broader range of people.

This new website is built on the WordPress platform, and modelled after the current Massachusetts and US League sites. We hope you find it easy to use. Please Contact Us if you have any suggestions or problems. Thank you!

COME AND HELP AT TOWN DAY!

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2023

Arlington Town Day logo

The end of summer means it’s time to get ready for Arlington’s Town Day. LWV Arlington will have a booth at this event that will be packed with information about voter registration, precinct maps, proposed legislation, League membership, policies, and activities, and other voter service literature. We are looking for volunteers to work in 1- or 2-hour increments from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This is a great, fast-paced event, with two to three people at the booth at all times, so both seasoned and new League members are welcome to participate. If you can help out, please call Meredith Zona at 781-648-2753, or send an email to her at meredith.zona@stantec.com.

You can find more information on this year’s Town Day on the Town Day page of the Arlington website. We look forward to seeing you on Town Day!
