2026 LWVOR Council Meeting

Our 2026 League of Women Voters of Oregon Council Meeting is scheduled for a single day, Saturday May 16, at the Historic Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 661 in Salem, Oregon.

Battlefield Veterans Post Commander Rick Breen, Vice Commander Dean Howes, Women’s Veterans Outreach Coordinator Margaret Estella Garcia and Veterans’ Services Representative Rosy Macias will be enthusiastically welcoming us all at opening ceremonies.

We again hope to have the Girl Scouts Color Guard, which may be joined by the Boy Scouts this year. This is an important addition, since one focus of our new President Mark Kendall and Board Member Evan Tucker is to feature the importance of male members in our organization. 

Several items of importance:

1.  Hosting: We are developing a local LWV-Marion Polk and friends “Host B & B” option, to provide members traveling long distances with friendly accommodations. Travel is expensive.  Local hosts are so much appreciated.  To offer to host, please contact me with your particulars at eileen.lwv@gmail.com.  Please put 2026 LWVO COUNCIL B&B HOST OFFERING in the subject line. 

   
   

2. Need Hosting: If you need hosting, please contact me at eileen.lwv@gmail.com with NEED HOSTING: 2026 LWVO COUNCIL

   
   

3. Hotel/Motel Accommodations: I will also be working on researching hotel/motel accommodation close to our meeting site for discounts for those of you traveling with families, etc. Please stay tuned.
