WEATHER UPDATE!

Our featured speaker for the Lively Issues Luncheon is not expected to appear, due to weather. However, your resourceful Program Committee is investigating several other interesting alternatives. As of Saturday morning, we do NOT plan to cancel the event.  Please keep an eye on this page for updates.

If you are able to come, bring a friend!  There will probably be some no-shows because of the weather. 

If you cannot attend and would like a refund, please email us at office@lwvdanecounty.org, and put Luncheon Refund in the subject line.  

Thank you,

Mary Anglim, LWVDC Program Chair

Ms. Sweet is an Anishinaabe poet and Professor Emerita at UW-Green Bay, where she taught Humanistic Studies, Creative Writing, and First Nations Studies for UW System. She served as the second Poet Laureate for the state of Wisconsin from 2005 to 2008. Learn more about her literary achievements here.
