[Kyprogrammers] Political Extravaganza

[Julie Maruskin]

We haven't - our League of Women Voters group dissolved years ago - and
donated everything left in their coffers to the Library, bless their hearts
- but it sounds wonderful.

Just imagine - an EDUCATED voting public!

Let us know how it goes - sounds great.
