Dear Members,

To me, the most important thing in life is personal growth. Challenges are difficult. They are also the best opportunity for personal growth. In reality, there are few things that we can control in our lives. We’re just along for the ride as events unfold.

What we can control is our attitudes and behavior. I choose to live each day with the joy of each sunrise and an open heart. And I choose to take thoughtful actions every day that are in keeping with what is right, without regard to outcome.

The LWVAC is a golden opportunity for the life path I have chosen. I am grateful...

Celebrating voting rights history and Black history go hand in hand. As we commemorate the great leaders and moments — both the known and the unsung — we must remember that the struggle to protect voting rights continues. We must continue to fight to ensure that we are not adding another chapter of discrimination and Jim Crow-era politics.

A recording of the Jan. 14 Oak Hammock Meeting is now available. Angela Bradbery, professor of Journalism at UF, presented, "The Election is Over. How Do We Make Progress on Social Issues / A Path Toward Depolarization."
