President's Message
What a wonderful time of the year...I hope you are enjoying the beauty and joyfulness of the holiday season. It is especially meaningful when we are able to be with family and friends.

In that spirit, I hope you will be join us for our LWV Seminole Holiday Party, Catered by Edibles, Etc., that will be held on Sunday, December 10 from 2 – 4 pm at the home of Deana and Fred Schott in Lake Mary. Additional information and the RSVP link (Use your member sign in to access the page!) are included in this newsletter.

Please note that their home is wheelchair accessible and the driveway is being reserved for those who need to park close.

As a community project this year we are collecting items for the Victim Services Center at the Department of Health. When a rape victim makes her report, her clothing becomes evidence. Our collection of new clothes, underwear and shoes will help ease the additional trauma that this causes. See the full list in the flyer in this newsletter.

Wishing you a holiday season filled with joy and laughter.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

PETITION INFORMATION 

The latest news from Floridians Protecting Freedom, as of 11/27, shows that Congressional District (CD) 7 is one of the targeted districts where 15,000 or less signatures are needed to hit the CD threshold. This is our District!!! Within this district, the cities of Longwood, Sanford and Oviedo have the densest population of high propensity, pro-abortion supporters.

If the law establishing the 15-week ban is upheld in the Florida Supreme Court, then in 30 days the more restrictive 6-week ban will go into effect. This has the potential to devastate not only reproductive care, but all women’s healthcare in our state.

If you haven’t yet signed the petition, do so today…and get your family and friends to do so as well. All the information you need can be found here:
