The League of Women Voters of Delta County, Marquette County Unit is pleased to announce the reestablishment of the League in Marquette County. The League has had a rich and long history in Marquette County. In 1968 a provisional Marquette County League formally organized with 46 charter members. For almost 40 years they thrived and grew with a reported high of 120 members. They provided many voter and educational services to the community until they saw membership numbers dwindle and the same small group of women found themselves responsible for the leadership roles. In 2006 with great regret the group disbanded. However, even at that time they remained hopeful that the League would reemerge for Marquette County. A charter member from 1968, was quoted as saying; “Maybe it will arise that they’ll need us one more time, and hopefully someone else can jump in” (Mining Journal 8-18-06). The time is right for the League to begin its work again in Marquette County. Citizens are craving reliable, accurate, fair and impartial information and that’s what the League can provide. The League is an historic, respected and trusted organization. As the new Unit’s name implies, the “League of Women Voters of Delta County, Marquette County Unit” will be operating under the governance of the Delta County League for a period of time. This will allow the new group to learn more about the mission, policies and practices of the League. Join us Saturday, July 8th at 10:15 a.m. in the Peter White Library Community Room. We are a non-partisan community-minded organization that encourages an informed and active participation of all citizens in their government. Come learn about the new League of Women Voters in Marquette. League membership is open to all women and men of voting age. Contact Darlene 906-225-9103 for further information.
