It's membership renewal time
You are part of a grassroots network of women and men in communities across the country. Here in Saratoga, your past support has enabled us to: conduct candidate forums, provide voter registration information to local High School seniors, pilot an online Voters' Guide, and lobby on many important issues in Albany.
Because your local membership dues also enroll you at the state and national League levels only a small portion of the dues stay here in Saratoga County. We work hard to write grants and fundraise to support our events and activities, so we have been able to keep our dues at the same level for the past four years. Thank you for your membership in the League. Your involvement is vital and much appreciated. 2012 Renewal Form.
