LWVLC Introduces ONE TIME TASKS

Most of us joined the League of Women Voters because we wanted to “do something” to contribute to our community and make a difference. It can be overwhelming to follow everything that is going on, and know where to start. 

One Time Tasks (OTT's) are activities that members can agree to try once, when asked. There are many tasks that are part of the League of Women Voters of Leelanau County's operations. Below are some examples of OTT's.

See something you'd like to try? Sign up here!
