Darke County League of Women Voters
Candidates Night, Tour of Homes topics of October meeting 

Candidates Night, planned for Monday, October 22 from 7 to 9 p.m at the American Legion, was the topic for the October meeting of the League of Women Voters of Darke County.  This fall candidates will be running for the district offices of State Representaative, and Ohio Appellate Court Judgeships. 

Candidates for each of the district offices will have time to introduce themselves and then will have an opportunity to answer questions submitted by the members of the audience.  League members will also present the state ballot issues without comments. 

The 2012 Tour of Homes was the other topic of the evening with thanks going to the Fliemans, the Nords and to Anne Willis for opening their beautiful homes to the public.   About two hundred viewed the lovely decors and innovative furnishings found in the homes, getting information on special points of interest in each. 

The League noted that thanks should also go to local merchants who also helped make the 2012 Tour successful:  Anne’s Gifts, Brenda’s Beanery, Helen’s Flowers, Montage, The Bistro Off Broadway,  The Coffee Pot, The Flower Patch, The Ivy League, and Tropical Isle.  Many men and women in the community also helped with hosting and parking and were a big part of the success.  

Upcoming events for the League are aimed at information for both League members and the community.  In November, Democrary in the Balance, a  program on campaign reform is planned.  For next March, League members are working on a program bringing speakers from across the state to address the topic “To Frack or Not to Frack - That is the Question”.
