Detroit League is a Family Affair

I’m a native Detroiter, born and raised in the house my family lived in for 40+ years. My mother was a member of the Detroit League, often hosting membership meetings in our living room. Mom was also active with League fundraising events, most memorable the sale of the LWV calendar. For as long as I can remember, this humble calendar hung over our telephone desk, displaying my mother’s handwritten notes signaling evenings out, meetings, and appointments. Carrying on our family tradition, I am an active member of LWV of Detroit, supporting the League’s oldest chapter in the United States.
