The League of Women Voters of the San Juans will hold its next public membership meeting from noon to 2 p.m., Monday, April 10 at the San Juan Island Library Meeting Room. Entitled “Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Rest,” the meeting will focus on possible changes in government policy and funding in light of a new presidential administration, and what San Juan County residents can expect. If you are wondering what effect new laws and policies will have on you, your family and community, come hear local officials’ insights about government funding and policy. This is a chance to ask questions and discuss concerns with the people entrenched in the work.

The meeting will be a panel discussion followed by audience questions. Our panelists will be San Juan County Auditor Milene Henley, speaking about federal funds coming to the county; Washington State Arts Commissioner Diane Martindale, speaking about the arts and public broadcasting; San Juan County Land Bank Director Lincoln Bormann, speaking about the EPA and related environmental issues; Peace Island Medical Center Chief Administrative Officer Merry-Ann Keane, speaking about health care and health insurance; SJI Family Resource Center Director Jennifer Armstrong, speaking about social safety net programs.
