Join The League of Women Voters of Spartanburg County on Saturday, May 11, 2019, from 8:30-noon at Spartanburg Community College Downtown Campus (220 E. Kennedy Street, Spartanburg) to learn how to throw your hat in the ring for both appointed and elected public offices. This non-partisan workshop is open to the public. It’s free, but please register by May 8 so we can be fully prepared. Follow the EventBrite link to register.

In the past two years, there have been at least 10 elected offices in Spartanburg that were filled without any opposition since only one candidate filed to run for each of those offices. Currently there are 25 vacancies on various appointed boards and commissions in the City of Spartanburg alone. “The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government,’ states League President Mary Ann Deku, “and this workshop will educate and inform the citizens on the steps to become engaged in local government.”

Sponsored by the Spartanburg Herald Journal, the event features experienced politicians and other experts to give the basics of gaining office and its importance to our community. Hope Blackley, District Director for Congressman William Timmons, is the keynote speaker while Kara Davis of USC Upstate’s Metropolitan Studies Institute; Alan Jenkins, Spartanburg Mayor Pro-Tem; Karen Mitchell, League President-elect; and Angela Viney, Commissioner of Public Works, will provide additional perspective and guidance on available appointed and elective offices, processes and campaigning insights.

ABOUT THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The League does not support or oppose any political party or candidate. Membership is open to men and women, citizens and non-citizens. Individual and household memberships are available.

THE PARADE HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO FORECASTED INCLEMENT WEATHER
Some people plant a garden to celebrate spring. Others buy a new outfit. We have a tiny parade through the heart of Chimney Rock Village.
It’s like the big parades, complete with fire trucks, adorable children, and the obligatory waving mayor. But we throw in a mascot dressed like a cow, (it’s a long story), some Llamas, a few scouts, some classic cars, and this year – some gorgeous boats.
That’s because this year’s parade will feature classic cars and boats from the Blue Ridge Chapter of the Antique Classic Boat Society, which will be having a boat and car show in neighboring Lake Lure.
Come out at 9 am and help us celebrate the arrival of Spring – Chimney Rock Village style!
