"PICTURE STORY"


First was the business meeting, which finished five minutes early and was attended by a quorum of members of the LWV of WestonLively meeting, and lots of great ideas for further work in the community!

BEFORE LUNCHEON...

    
WHILE OTHERS SOCIALIZED, WE SET UP FOR MEMORIALIZING THE SPEECH & Q&A
The Red Barn was just the right place, and we were advised of the best location for the camera to avoid "back lighting" effect.


FACES FROM MANY SECTORS OF WESTON
"Getting to know you" or rather, getting to talk to you again, in a different context, before excellent lunch!


        
RELAXATION AT LEAGUE?  HEY - WE'VE GOT TO PATENT THIS!!!
A very friendly community is Weston.  Oh, and by the way, would anyone like to "work the polls" at the Referendum#2 tomorrow (9-5)?  NOTE:  Results were:  688 to 313 "yes" on School Budget the next day.  That was 1001 Westonites voting in the Referendum!


WE HAD OUR CHEESE CAKE FAST AND TOOK COFFEE BACK TO THE CAMERA TO RECORD THE BETTY HILL FORUM SPEAKER DAVID BURSTEIN...



GREAT SPEAKER!
Introduced as a Weston High School graduate...and then much, much more, as a spokesman for his "generation"...

  
THOSE IN GOVERNMENT WERE ALL EARS...
Mr. Burstein, whose credentials to speak on the subject of his topic and for his generation are amazing.  These comments had special meaning for Weston...



  
THOSE WHO ARE PROFESSIONALLY INTERESTED IN HIS TOPIC AND GENERATION ASKED QUESTIONS
Of course, whenever the League conducts a meeting no one is ever at a loss to ask questions and delve deeper!  How did he do?  Great!!!

    
THINKING PERSON'S LUNCHEON!
New members seemed to enjoy themselves, and brought excellent depth of experience and wisdom into Q&A;  others were eager to challenge.  Some just thought deeply.


               
A SHADOW OVER YOUR FUTURE
One point Mr. Burstein made that resonated  for the webmaster was that his generation came of age around the time of September 11, 2001...and we couldn't help but recall thinking how different the world would be for the next generation afterward.
