Tuesday, October 12, 2010

Residence of Marti Law


The October meeting of the Hong Kong Unit of the League of Women Voters was held at the residence of member Marti Law on October 12, 2010. Beth Hall, President, called the meeting to order at 10:00AM. Beth welcomed all members, and then began the program. Mr. David Kosnoff, Democrat, and Mr. Chris Exline, representing the Republicans Abroad, shared their views on relevant political issues in the US. A question and answer session followed with Ms Sabrina Maguire representing the Democrats Abroad, as Mr. Kosnoff had to leave due to a prior commitment.

A brief business meeting followed the program. Phyllis Lubbers, Recording Secretary, read the minutes of the September 2010 meeting. The minutes were approved as read. Sandra Collins De Lange, Treasurer, presented a treasurer’s report, and they were approved as read. Marti Law, Membership Chair, had no report, but said membership applications were available for the membership to distribute to friends, and anyone who might be interested in joining the League. Bunny Chaney, Voter Services, recently attended the HKIS Welcome Back Coffee where she had a table with information about the LWV. She was also able to provide information in procedures for voting overseas at AWA CHAT. Patricia Lloyd representing the AWA Education and Scholarship Committee noted how pleased AWA is to be partnered with the LWV, and reminded the membership that all fund-raising money goes directly to the specific charity.

Beth Hall reminded members that the November meeting will be held on November 23rd instead of the second Tuesday.

The meeting was adjourned at 12:05.

Respectfully submitted,



Phyllis Lubbers
Recording Secretary
