Postcards promote voting
Volunteers who want to support the effort to turn out the Democratic vote in Lake of the Woods will have an opportunity from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 15, in the Trophy Room in the Woods Building.
Hundreds of hand-written postcards are being written and mailed to residents encouraging them to vote in the Nov. 5 election. Many of them were prepared at a club meeting on Oct. 10, but there are still many left to be written and mailed.
