Candidate's Forum The non-partisan League of Women Voters of Alachua County/Gainesville will be holding an open to the public Candidate's Forum for the School Board Races and for the primary race for County Commission. Place: Gainesville Woman's Club, W University Ave., Sunday August 8. 2:00 - 5:00 PM. The
School Board race is non-partisan so it is important that citizens vote
in this election for the people who will be deciding on the curriculum
and what our children will be learning! Whether a person has
children or their children are grown and gone, what the children of the
community learn - and how they learn it - is vital to the direction the
society will take. Contact rosaliemb@hotmail.com for more information. ***** Women's Liberation in Gainesville: Building on What's Been Won by Knowing What's Been Done* When: Thurs.
