How much do we really know about how elections work?
Join the League of Women Voters of the Fredericksburg Area for a public Community Conversation with the Fredericksburg Registrar’s Office. This discussion-based event will explore common questions, assumptions, and misunderstandings about elections, voting, and election law.
This is not a lecture or a debate. It is an open, welcoming conversation where community members can learn directly from the people who help run our local elections, ask questions, and better understand how the process works.
Whether you vote every election, are newly registered, help others navigate voting, or are just curious about what happens behind the scenes, this conversation is for you.
The best way to understand elections is to talk about them.

King George High School

Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated film,&nbsp;Disney's The Little Mermaid&nbsp;is
a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by
eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman
and Glenn Slater and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable
will capture your heart with its irresistible songs, including "Under
the Sea," "Kiss the Girl" and "Part of Your World." 

Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human
Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch,
Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it
seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the
fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under
the sea. 
Disney's The Little Mermaid&nbsp;offers a fantastic creative
opportunity for rich costumes and sets, as well as the chance to perform
some of the best-known songs from the past 30 years.<h3>Dates / Times:</h3>
