LWVFA's McLean Unit Meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 13, at 9:30 a.m

Where: StarNut Cafe, 1445 Laughlin Avenue, McLean, VA 22101

The League of Women Voters of the Faifax Area's (LWVFA) McLean Unit will have a meeting to discuss the topic: "Elections Have Consequences - Part 1.
How many times have you heard people say: “My vote won’t make a difference; I only vote in presidential
elections”? To League members, those excuses are intolerable since they know voting does make a difference, but did you know that “who” votes can make an even bigger difference?
In this two-part series on “Elections Have Consequences,” Unit members will delve into some of the causes and effects of voter turnout, both nationally and locally, concentrating on Virginia’s elections—in order to explain how important it is to vote in local and statewide elections. “All politics is local” has more meaning than you might realize. At this meeting, members will explain the “why” and in October, they will concentrate on “how”. You can use this information along with League issues to query the candidates in the upcoming election. Please attend the meeting and enjoy the discussion! If you want read the September newsletter, please go to https://www.lwv-fairfax.org/newsletters/
