Teresa Stohs headshotNOTES FROM THE PRESIDENT

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has proposed a new rule that would allow USPS to control who can receive and vote by mail ballot. If implemented, eligible American citizens will be blocked from participating in our elections. USPS could refuse to mail ballots from states that do not share voter lists.

Voters must speak out between now and July 2nd. The USPS needs to hear from as many organizations and individuals as possible that they oppose these changes.

Comments should be emailed to PCFederalRegister@usps.gov, with a subject line of “Ballot Mail,” by 5pm ET on Thursday, July 2. Emailed comments must contain the name and address of the commenter.

Stumped about what to say? Here are short. simple comments for everyday people to get you started.

PS – A bit of trivia. "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." While often attributed as the United States Postal Service (USPS) motto, this quote comes from 5th-century BCE Greek history. It describes a relay-style mounted messenger system used by the ancient Persians.

BRINGING FLORIDIANS TOGETHER
CELEBRATING OUR 250TH ANNIVERSARY

Potluck dinner

Supporting our democracy means building strong communities. Strong connections among neighbors fosters trust and a sense of belonging. This promotes stability and encourages civic participation, such as voting. Strong communities create greater engagement and collaboration, which are key elements in a stable democracy.

LWVFL is encouraging us to have a potluck on or near July 5, 2026, to celebrate our anniversary and support our democracy. It is an opportunity for neighbors to join together with a fun, communal meal, to create a sense of connection and belonging. It can be as simple as a continental breakfast or a full dinner. It can include one neighbor or many. Please think ahead about the location, day and time. Ideas for topics of conversation and more will be forth coming.
JULY 15 @ 4:30-6:30

Please join us on Wednesday, July 15th for a casual summer evening with your LWVCC colleagues at Ridgway's Bar and Grill in Old Naples. It is a great time to get to know more League members and catch up with “year-rounders” you may not have seen in a while. We will have a few appetizers and there will be a cash bar. Feel free to bring a spouse, partner, or friend—this is purely a social event! Any questions, please feel free to contact Tina Palmese or Jan Eustis.
